EARTH-IN-360 is built by a small, cross-disciplinary team combining environmental economics, marine science, and immersive technology. Here's who's behind it.
Chiara leads participant engagement and survey design for the Great Barrier Reef field campaign. Her background in marine biology and conservation behaviour informs how we frame the VR intervention and interpret participant responses.
Vincent specialises in non-market valuation and experimental design. He oversees the stated preference methodology underpinning the study, ensuring the willingness-to-pay estimates we generate meet the standards required for policy submission.
Tom leads the EARTH-IN-360 project, bringing together environmental economics, stated preference methodology, and immersive technology. His research focuses on how people value ecosystem services — and how novel media can close the gap between abstract policy figures and lived experience.
Daniel designs and builds the EARTH-IN-360 platform, from the underwater 360° capture pipeline to the VR application and this website. He bridges the gap between research design and technical delivery, ensuring the immersive experience works flawlessly in the field.
