Isn’t it like an epic underwater quest?

5.   How long have you been in the survey industry? Around 11 years, started doing scientific research while in University

6.   How did you end up getting into the geospatial industry? When I was a little girl, I loved watching ocean documentaries with my dad. As I got older, I dreamed of becoming one of the cool lady ocean explorers I saw on TV. One day, a big tsunami hit Indonesia, that was a very sad time for many and made me super curious about why and how it happened. That’s when I decided to study Oceanography and got hooked on Geo Sciences.

7.   State a funny fact about you… I have my very own collection of awesome rocks and fossils, and it’s my biggest treasure! Some of them come from deep-ocean volcanoes and ancient coral reefs. My coolest fossil is a shark tooth that’s 200 million years old and almost as big as my hand!

8.   Favourite piece of kit and why?  I love our ROVs, which are super cool underwater robots! They can dive deep into the ocean and have all kinds of awesome gadgets to help explore and map the seafloor. You can even customise them, just like people do with their cars!

9.   Favourite Survey technique and why? I love the MBES, which stands for Multibeam Echosounder! It’s a super cool gadget that helps us make really detailed maps of the ocean floor.  With it, we can spot shipwrecks, pipelines, and even tiny structures, just like we’re seeing them right in front of us. It’s an awesome tool for exploring the deep sea.
