More about Professor Maslin

I am a member of the Cheltenham Science Festival Advisory Committee and sit听on the Corporate Social Responsibility Board of the Sopria-Steria Group and Sheep Included Ltd. I am also a leading scientist with particular expertise in past global and regional climatic change and have published over 175 papers in journals such as Science, Nature, and The Lancet. I听have听been PI or Co-I on grants, projects and consultancy worth over 拢65 million. My areas of scientific expertise include causes of past and future global climate change and its effects on the global carbon cycle, biodiversity, rainforests and human evolution. I also work听on monitoring land carbon sinks using remote sensing and ecological models and international and national climate change policies.

I have听presented over 50 public talks over the last five years including Google UK, Twitter EU, New Scientist Live, UK Space conference, Oxford, Cambridge, RGS, Tate Modern, Royal Society of Medicine, Fink Club, Frontline Club, British Museum, Natural History Museum, Goldman Sachs, the Norwegian Government, UNFCCC COP and the WTO. He has supervised 15 Research fellows, 20 PhD students and over 40 MSc students. I have听also written eight听popular books, over 60 popular articles (e.g., for New Scientist, The Times, Independent and Guardian), appeared on radio and television (including Time Team, Newsnight, Dispatches, Horizon, The Today Programme, Material World, BBC News, Channel 5 News, and Sky News. His popular book 鈥淐limate Change: A Very Short Introduction鈥 by Oxford University Press is now in its fourth edition and has sold over 50,000 copies. He has subsequently published another title 鈥淐limate: A Very Short Introduction鈥 in the same series. I was also a co-author of the seminal Lancet report 鈥楳anaging the health effects of climate change鈥 and the Lancet review paper on the health links between Population, Development and Climate Change. I was included in Who鈥檚 Who for the first time in 2009 and was granted a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award for the study of early human evolution in East Africa in 2011.

Rezatec听

Rezatec Limited was co-founded by Professor Mark Maslin in 2012 and is based in the Electron Building
in Harwell, Oxfordshire. Rezatec aims to solve global business problems concerning the environment through scientific analysis of satellite and ground data. Rezatec Earth Information Products and Analytics support complex business decision-making for organisations across many different markets from financial services to energy, from agribusiness to forest management and the REDD+ agenda.

Rezatec has three main principles which underlie all their solutions

  1. Cost-effective solutions: Rezatec brings down the cost of collecting, converting, assimilating, and analysing earth observation and ground data.
  2. Big Data analysis: Rezatec is tackling the challenges of collecting, converting, storing, cataloguing, sharing, analyzing and visualizing big data.
  3. Scientific validation: Rezatec uses cutting-edge science which has been independently verified as the bases of all its data products and services reducing error and uncertainty.

Rezatec鈥檚 unique strength lies in its ability to aggregate large amounts of diverse data from satellite, airborne and ground instruments as the basis for advanced predictive analysis. This analysis uses different ecosystem models and statistical techniques to create each data product.

A typical predictive analysis process involves the following steps:

  • acquisition of a range of remote sensing and ancillary and reference data as inputs, then;
  • assimilation and collation of the data, before;
  • passing the data through relevant ecosystems models (where appropriate), prior to;
  • performing the predictive statistical analysis.

Rezatec Ltd is currently funded by ISIC, European Space Agency, Technology Strategy Board, the Royal Society and Climate KIC and has a large diverse portfolio of clients.
