Spatial data science
We offer advanced capabilities in data and spatial analytics. We integrate and analyse big data sets, write algorithms, apply advanced GIS techniques and develop dashboards.
.
Coding, automation, data handling and manipulation
We support a range of programs and services in coding, automation, data handling and manipulation, including Python, R, MATLAB, ESRI and QGIS database management.
Domain knowledge & soft technical expertise
We provide domain knowledge and soft skill services for clients, including strategy, collaboration and communication of complex data sets and analysis. We provide solutions-focused outputs to help decision-makers.
Communication and visualisation
We are expert storytellers, passionate about communicating complexity and visualising data for better decisions. We are experts in telling stories with both qualitative and quantitative data, suitable for all audiences. We design decision support tools, provide spatial mapping and 3D visualisation and can work in Tableau, Power BI, ESRI / QGIS, Python and R to produce slides, reports, dashboards and web interfaces.

With a passion for storytelling through maps and visualisation, Jake transforms complex datasets into intuitive, accessible tools that empower stakeholders to make informed decisions.<br>At Mosaic Insights, Jake has delivered a suite of innovative data products spanning dashboards, ArcGIS StoryMaps, scientific charts, interactive mapping applications, and clean, elegant cartographic outputs. His projects bridge cutting-edge analytics with clear, engaging communication, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.<br><br>Jake has a particular interest in using spatial analysis to assess urban forests across Australia—how they are evolving, their vulnerabilities, and how this knowledge can guide strategic interventions. By integrating high-resolution satellite imagery, drone technology, machine learning, and advanced spatial techniques, Jake brings fresh insights to the pressing challenges of urban sustainability and resilience.<br><br>Jake’s strength lies in his ability to unite technical skills with storytelling and visualisation, creating data products that are both rigorous and accessible.
Dr Jabbar Khaledi
Jabbar Khaledi is an expert in hydro-climatology, earth observation, and environmental data analysis, with deep experience in analysing spatio-temporal data across climate, water, terrain, vegetation, and extreme events such as floods, bushfires, and droughts. He completed a PhD at the University of Melbourne (2018–2022) in hydro-climatology and water resources management, publishing peer-reviewed research on how catchment- and regional-scale water availability is influenced by climate change and variability modes (e.g., ENSO, IOD, SAM, IPO), droughts, and bushfires. Jabbar’s expertise lies in interpreting time series, remote sensing, and spatial datasets to understand complex climate–land–water interactions, and in developing environmental metrics, indices, and predictive models using machine learning and statistical techniques to monitor conditions and track changes over time.<br><br>Jabbar creates advanced models, tools, python packages, and automated workflows that support decision-making and provide practical solutions to environmental challenges across both catchments and urban areas. His technical skillset includes Python and its scientific libraries, ESRI GIS tools, REST API services, WCS clients, and cloud-based platforms such as Google Earth Engine (GEE), ESA, NASA MAAP, and ODC-DEA.<br><br>With a strong background in collaborative consulting, stakeholder engagement, and clear communication, Jabbar consistently delivers valuable insights and actionable outcomes tailored to client needs.
Projects in Spatial and Data Science
More Mosaic Insights capabilities
AI and machine learning
We work with our clients to deploy AI and machine learning to enhance decision-making through predictive analytics and improving data-driven insights.
Nature-based solutions
Our work focuses on the integration of natural processes and ecosystems to address challenges such as climate change, flooding, air quality, and biodiversity loss. Our work improves urban resilience and enhances the well-being of communities.
Open space planning
We shape cities and regional communities for decades to come. Our work creates functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing environments that promote community engagement, well-being, and ecological health.
Urban greening and cooling
We believe nature in cities plays a critical role in both community wellbeing and ecological health. We develop strategies and plans for open space, urban forests, greening and cooling.
Social science
We are leaders in environmental social science; we specialise in human-nature connections where we identify areas of social enquiry to inform environmental planning and evaluation.
