About Beas Barik

Geospatial and climate-data specialist with 10 + years of combined research and consulting experience spanning higher-education labs and industry projects. An experienced researcher in the academic sector, I have quantified groundwater–food–energy links across the Indo-Gangetic Basin, mapped urban heat-island trends for dozens of Indian cities, and built agricultural water-use forecasts adopted by UK–India partners. In industry, I lead Steer Group’s India GIS offering, delivering EV charge-point demand models, university and airport travel plans, and borough-wide active-travel strategies that advance local sustainability goals.Skilled in Cartography, ArcGIS Pro/ArcMap, QGIS, PostGIS, Matlab, ERDAS Imagine, Python scripting, and GEFS/VIC-based forecasting, I translate complex climate-and-mobility datasets into clear maps, dashboards, and evidence bases for planners, city councils, and development agencies. Backed by an M.Sc. in Geoinformatics (Symbiosis International University) and an M.S. by Research in Water-Resources Engineering (IIT Bombay), I combine rigorous academic insight with real-world delivery. Currently a GIS Consultant at Steer, I am driven to bridge the gap between academia and industry, bringing data-rich, science-backed solutions to pressing urban and environmental challenges.
