Abbey Douglas

GIS Specialist

Abbey is a Geospatial Specialist with a strong background in geology, remote sensing, and GIS, holding an MSc in Geology from the University of Canterbury. Her research focused on applying hyperspectral imaging for surface alteration mapping, and she has since built on this foundation through professional experience in LiDAR, satellite, and UAV data processing.

At Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand, she developed open-source Python tools for LiDAR quality control and conducted Antarctic field surveys to support GPS monitoring and tide gauge calibration. More recently, at AppyWay in London, she led the development of Python-based ETL workflows that integrated AI to improve the efficiency and accuracy of geospatial processes.

At HAMERKOP, she leads on geospatial processes and data standardisation to support voluntary carbon market projects, providing technical documentation, spatial analysis, and guidance to consultants on how geospatial data can inform project assessment and certification.
