Whitecap Geospatial Information

Bridging Environmental Science & Data Engineering. At Whitecap Geospatial, we empower high-impact environmental research through data engineering and interactive visualizations. Our team bridges the gap between climate science and cutting-edge software, helping researchers access, manage, and visualize data more effectively. What We Do We provide consulting services to support environmental research teams with: • Data Engineering & Computational Workflows – Ensuring research data is structured, scalable, and reproducible. • High-Performance Computing – Leveraging powerful computing resources to analyze and process large geospatial datasets. • Impactful Visualizations – Crafting tools and dashboards that make scientific insights accessible and actionable. • Expert Network Connections – Bringing together data professionals and researchers to drive innovation. Our Mission We believe that professional data engineering is underrepresented in environmental science. By integrating expertise from the open geospatial community, we unlock new opportunities for climate science and policy. Our Goals 📌 For the Scientific Community: • Shift policy through better data accessibility. • Empower researchers with high-quality, scalable tools. • Democratize access to environmental and climate data. 📌 For the Engineering Community: • Build a developer network focused on public good. • Bridge the gap between the private tech sector and academia. Meet the Team 🔹 Chris Lowrie – Environmental geospatial scientist with experience at UC Santa Cruz and Apple Maps. 🔹 Will Gislason – Software engineer and team builder with experience at Hilton Hotels and Commons. Chris and Will founded Whitecap Geospatial after recognizing that climate science needed faster, more elegant, and performant software to power research. They bring together deep expertise in geospatial engineering, software development, and climate communication.
