Trent Richardson

I’m an environmental innovation strategist and applied geographer with 20+ years translating science into strategy and leading large-scale conservation and resilience initiatives.

From federal service to fieldwork, I’ve turned geospatial insight into action—guiding national programs from natural hazards to offshore energy, securing $75M in appropriations, expanding science portfolios by 50%, and strengthening the systems that research, monitor, and communicate environmental risk.

My doctoral research in coastal geomorphology and shoreline change sharpened my ability to connect spatial data, risk, and real-world decision-making—skills I now apply to environmental strategy, energy policy, and regional resilience.

Let’s connect if you’re building:

• Data-driven conservation or resilience programs
• Partnerships linking science and community impact
• Geospatial strategies for climate, energy, or infrastructure
