Environment Officer · Coastal Remote Sensing·North Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indra Kurniawan
Environment Officer working on water quality, compliance and coastal remote sensing.
I manage wastewater monitoring and environmental compliance at a coal mining operation in North Kalimantan, from sampling and lab results to the reports that keep permits in order.
Alongside that, I use satellite imagery to track coastal turbidity and shoreline change. Marine science graduate, now completing a master’s in environmental management.
