about Geocology

what we do

Geocology provides GIS and informatics capacity to environmental and community organizations that don't have that capacity in-house.

We combine technical skills like GIS, database and web with background in ecology, outreach, communications and policy.

Our goal is to become a shared resource of best practices and repeatable experience that Vancouver and coastal area organizations can collectively draw on.

who we've worked with


We love working with these people. These are awesome people.

who we are

Hugh Stimson

environmental geographer

hugh@geocology.ca
@hughstimson
604.440.1989

Hugh studied ecology at the University of Guelph before working in conservation GIS and remote sensing at UC Davis and the Smithsonian Institution.

He combined his interests in ecology, complex systems theory and geospatial methods in a Masters thesis at the University of Michigan studying dryland vegetation patterning.

Hugh used to like motorcycles and deserts but now likes camper vans and fjords. He has planted over a million trees by hand. True fact.

Jane Boles

human geographer

Jane works with forest dependent communities on climate change and participatory natural resource governance.

For the last several years she has worked in the Congo basin leveraging REDD and other carbon programs towards climate change mitigation/adaptation and livelihood enhancement.

Jane studied Geography and Political Science at Concordia University, and is endlessly grateful to do work that involves good measures of reading, writing, talking, and stomping around in the muck.
