Trees as Infrastructure establishes nature as a critical part of urban infrastructure, alongside bridges, roads and rail, enabling investment, profitability and sustainability. The project has been growing and evolving in the last 2 years, and we are gearing up to launch our first pilot in the upcoming year. Read more about it here.
TreesAI is part of Dark Matter Labs and in the context of climate breakdown and technological disruption, Dark Matter Labs focuses on accelerating the societal transition towards collective care, shared agency, long-term, and interconnectedness. Our daily work ranges from policy and regulation to finance and data, from governance and democratic participation to organisational culture and identity.
We organise our work around what this transition needs, and the things we want to see in the world. To keep that transparent, we undertake open work in collaborative partnerships to provoke alternative visions of the future, designing how they might look in practice, and experimenting in context to reveal how they could work and enable the necessary change. More about us here.
Dark Matter Labs is building on its work, with new programmes, locations, teams, systems and approaches being built. We are looking to recruit an amazing person to hold geospatial mapping and analysis activities with a focus on green infrastructure and Nature-based Solutions (specifically but not limited to urban forestry) to design a methodology to map and assess the impact of green infrastructure activities at a city scale.
The scope of this contract is to develop methodologies and to map a variety of city-wide datasets, like canopy cover, demographic data, surface heat analysis, and flood maps. This will be used to build a comprehensive understanding of how the city's green infrastructure helps to adapt and mitigate the city's environmental and climate-related risks.
In this role your focus will be split across some key areas of work:
