Marlène Boura, PhD
As a PhD-trained data scientist and ecologist with over 10 years of expertise, I specialize in transforming complex data into actionable insights. My passion lies at the intersection of spatial data analysis, machine learning, and data visualization.
My ecological expertise focuses on ecosystem services valuation, biodiversity conservation, ecological continuities, species distribution modelling, remote sensing, GIS, environmental impact assessments, and nature-based solutions. I also have very good knowledge of the EU environmental policies.
Need a hand for science or environmental communication? Get in touch, I'd love to help you build a storytelling based on your data and scientific facts.
I like to focus on reproducible data analysis workflows, geographic information systems (GIS), dashboards, and I bring both scientific rigor and innovative thinking to the projects I'm involved in!
