William Martinez

Geospatial Specialist

William sees landscapes through data. His background in geography, remote sensing, and environmental indicators has led him from academic research on ecosystem vulnerability to applied work helping Nature-based Solutions teams understand vegetation and land-cover change at scale. He uses Python, deep learning, satellite imagery, and machine learning to support carbon credit frameworks and REDD+ projects, including workflows that combine Sentinel-1 SAR and optical imagery to validate vegetation conditions. William holds a PhD in Geography focused on remote sensing and land-cover mapping. His work brings the rigor of academic spatial research into the practical decisions project teams need to make.
