Pip Bricher is the director of National Seabed Mapping at Geoscience Australia, where she leads the team that delivers the Offshore Mapping project of the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative and the national collaborative initiative, AusSeabed. Between these two initiatives, Pip's team helps the Australian seabed mapping community coordinate their efforts to fill in the gaps in existing seabed surveys, then brings that survey data together into foundational bathymetric-topographic surfaces that inform government decision-making around offshore energy, geological storage of gases, and groundwater systems. Pip came into this role from a background in ocean data management, where she coordinated data sharing activities for the Australian Hydrographic Office and the Southern Ocean Observing System. She has a PhD in spatial ecology and a masters in environmental management.
