Trent M. Richardson

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

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
