Environmental Data Scientist | Advanced R Programming, Statistics & Literature Reviews

プロフィール概要

I'm David, an Environmental Data Scientist and Literature Review Specialist with over six years of experience in both academic research and environmental consulting. I specialise in R programming for statistical analysis, automation, data visualisation, clustering, and time series modelling. My MPhil research at the University of Reading involved developing a novel environmental stratification for Europe using a custom clustering methodology I designed, working with climate, vegetation, and land cover datasets spanning 12,000 years. I also have extensive experience conducting scientific literature reviews for peer-reviewed publications and government bodies, including the UK Environment Agency and DEFRA. I understand the rigour required for policy-ready synthesis and publication. What I can help with: - R programming and statistical analysis (data cleaning, modelling, visualisation) - Scientific literature reviews (systematic, scoping, or narrative) - GIS-based spatio-temporal data analysis and mapping - Database design and management (SQL, reproducible workflows) Beyond my academic work, I have delivered high-profile projects for the UK Climate Change Committee and WWF UK, ranging from economic land-use modelling to food system sustainability data pipelines. I help PhD students with data analysis, academics needing literature synthesis and writing support, or organisations requiring environmental data interpretation. I look forward to working with you!
