Polygon Geospatial is based out of Melbourne, Victoria. We combine geological understanding with drone photogrammetry, GIS, and spatial analysis of hazard and risks.
We work with extractive and resources teams to turn site data into practical information for extraction, rehabilitation and risk management.
Our expertise stems from decades immersed in geospatial data in geosciences and resource development. We don't simply provide acquisition or cartography, but offer support across projects that is grounded in knowledge and deep practical experience.
As geoscientists, not just drone operators, our strength lies in understanding our clients' aims, and identifying and delivering the best value solutions for their needs.
We strive to create partnerships and deliver outcomes that reduce costs and add value over a project life-cycle.
As a professional geologist, Nathan has over 25 years of experience within the resources industry, principally oil and gas.
Nathan holds a PhD in Geology from Monash University, a BSc (Hons) in Petroleum Geophysics from the University of Adelaide, and a BSc in Geology/Physics from Latrobe University.
With a diverse career - spanning micro-cap explorers, government agencies, and multinational corporations - Nathan brings a broad skill set and deep practical experience to support your project needs. His career also includes advisory roles within state government, working under Victoria’s Mineral Resources legislation.
Nathan has worked extensively with spatial data across geoscience projects in the petroleum sector, both internationally and within Australia. He offers expertise in both modern 3D datasets and the integration of legacy data into contemporary GIS environments.
Specialising in the organisation, manipulation and exploitation of geospatial data, Nathan helps maximise efficiency and project outcomes. His communication skills, developed working across disciplines and cultures, coupled with a strong academic foundation, ensures client objectives are clearly articulated and understood.
A proud father of two beautiful girls, Nathan enjoys time away in the mountains - biking, skiing and exploring the outdoors with family.
