.Lobelia is a pioneering company in the use of Earth Observation satellites to address the climate emergency. We develop and operate services to assess the state of those components of the climate system that have a critical impact on our society. Components like the exposure to present and future climate extremes, the quantification of water availability, the monitoring of carbon sequestration or the quantification of biodiversity are good examples of analysis we do providing key data for adaptation and mitigation measures in face of climate change.Lobelia's team is composed of passionate experts in physics, earth sciences, graphic design, computer science, data visualization, engineering and business. We apply this interdisciplinary knowledge to actual products people use and want to use. We work with trusted data providers and have a growing network of international collaborators that are as engaged as we are to drive for change.Lobelia is looking for a Climate Impact Scientist to strengthen its scientific team.1. Why you should work at Lobelia Nature has been left out of the economic equation for too long, and recent efforts to address the situation have sometimes led to a great deal of greenwashing. But we're in acute need: climate impacts have a cost, biodiversity has a value, and the sooner we all figure out a way to introduce these elements in the value chain, the better we will be able to achieve a really sustainable world.At Lobelia we combine observational datasets, advanced models and AI to provide inputs for the financial market. If you know an awful lot about climate, climate impacts, or vulnerable complex systems (transportation, energy, communications), we need your help.2. What you will do One of the main tasks of Lobelia is to fill the gap between the Academia generation of knowledge and the specific Industry requirements regarding climate information. We are currently performing solid and operational analysis based on state-of-the-art science to provide valuable data describing the exposure to diverse climate hazards globally. We want to extend this approach to quantify the potential climate impacts that these extreme events might have on different types of infrastructures and natural environments.Your primary role will be to perform science-based impact analysis combining the climate data already generated by the scientific team with the physical characteristics of assets considered. You will work within the scientific team and be supported by the technical team with the aim to build a robust and operational methodology that can be deployed systematically. One of the most recurrent types of climate analysis we do is related to water; such as the occurrence of droughts, the related water availability, river discharge estimates for hydropower plants, and, riverine and coastal floodings. However, our projects also account for other very diverse hazards like extreme wind, wildfires or marine storms
