Neil Sims

A highly experienced leader of large and complex national and international projects. My background is in the use of Earth Observation/Remote Sensing methods to monitor changes in plant growth responses over time. My projects have included writing methods to help countries report on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and developing methods for biosecurity monitoring crop diseases from satellites.  My current challenge is adapting the Australian-developed Open Data Cube technology to meet the needs of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) countries in the Pacific Region to support their resource management needs, including reporting on the UNSDGs.
