My Approach

Transforming how we work together to create ecosystem-based information

  • Building Capacity & Understanding

    I firmly believe that we need to work to strengthening people’s technological skills to allow us to collaboratively work together to better understand & create holistic information for our environmental challenges as well as allow for the development of effective ‘locally-relevant’ solutions.

  • Mapping & Monitoring Techiques

    I have extensively research and developed a comprehensive drone mapping and monitoring methodology using off-the-shelf drone technologies so that you can quickly and easily plan and conduct mapping surveys to create accurate mapping data to aid your planning, monitoring and management decisions.

  • Create & Share Information

    My unique 'Participatory UAS' Approach will allow you to effectively use your drone mapping data to map and create understandable information but also how to leverage automated analytic dashboards & reporting tools to summarize and remotely share using web-mapping and social media platforms.

Instructor Bio:

I am Dr. Kim Baldwin, a marine ecologist and commercial drone pilot with over 20 years of experience conducting environmental field research and teaching in the Caribbean. As the Director of Marine Spatial Information Solutions (MarSIS), my mission is to empower individuals with the skills and tools to easily collect, understand, and create holistic geospatial information. Together, we can collaboratively develop practical solutions to effectively manage our environment.

Throughout my career, I have trained hundreds of individuals and large organizations across the Caribbean and California in safely flying drones, undertaking commercial operations, and implementing mapping and monitoring strategies. By equipping them with the necessary skills, they are able to collect, analyze, and widely share environmental information, ultimately improving collaborative environmental management.

Over the years, I have refined my stakeholder engagement and mapping techniques, and I am excited to teach you a straightforward approach that can be easily applied to any industry-specific environmental application. Whether you are an individual, organization, or industry, I am here to help you leverage technology and improve your approach to environmental management. Together, we can make a positive impact in our world!

Insights: Drone Training

Drones for Environmental Management

“Dr. Baldwin is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Her teaching approach was methodical, covering the background information on UAVs, their usefulness in research and the reasons for flight regulations. She was patient as we learned the basics of pre-flight preparations and flight with UAVs and was very effective at teaching our team the differences between and benefits of the available software. I would recommend training with her to anyone interested in using drones for research.”
