Aidan Chan (Conservation)

February 8, 2024 | Author: Matthew

GIS Business Analyst; Korotu Technology

Aidan Chan in a forest during work term

I have been working as a GIS Business Analyst in Korotu Technology, a startup that seeks to provide stakeholders with technologies to fund, protect, and grow Nature-based solutions.

For the last 4 out of 8 months in this internship, I was tasked to create a windthrow prediction model for Nova Scotia after being hit by a post-tropical storm. The remote position involved integrating data sources and literature review in my work, but in-person forestry workshops.

This coop position let me understand how natural solutions are implemented on a provincial scale, as well as being adaptable under different project constraints.
