My Approach

Transforming How We Work Together

Building Capacity & Shared Understanding

I firmly believe that by strengthening people’s technological skills will allow us to better work together to understand and collaboratively create more holistic environmental information for our challenges as well as enable the development of effective, locally-relevant solutions.
Participatory Mapping & Monitoring Techniques

My participatory drone mapping and monitoring methodology has been designed using 'off-the-shelf' drones together with easy to use information technology tools so that you can quickly learn how to effectively plan & conduct drone surveys to create comprehensive mapping & geospatial data.
Collaboratively Create & Widely Share Information

My signature 'Participatory-UAS' approach will teach you how to effectively use your drone mapping data to collect local knowledge but also how to leverage web-mapping tools to analyze data, create understandable information & widely share across various platforms and audiences.

Insights: Drone Boot Camp

Drones for Environmental Management

“I highly recommend the Drone Mapping & Monitoring Bootcamp. I had no prior experience with drones, background knowledge of mapping or even experience in flying. But after this one-week intensive workshop, I can honestly say that I now have a skill set that I look forward to applying more in Anguilla. The drone Bootcamp has showed me that there are so many other applications we can now now use drone technologies for managing our environment”

Dr. Kim Baldwin

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!
