Environmental, Earth & Geosciences (Science & Technology)Full timeUrban Intelligence was established three years ago to enable evidence-based decisions in the climate and risk management space. The communities we serve, including councils, central government, iwi, and infrastructure managers, are all tasked with making critical decisions related to the risks associated with climate change. To make these decisions, the information on risks needs to be accessible, up-to-date, and based on robust geospatial analysis.The Resilience Explorer (REx), our flagship product, is an interactive, user-tailored platform for scenario testing and risk-informed decision-making. It was developed to support those decision-makers by leveraging advanced geospatial analysis and data visualisation techniques.
