My Pontification – Being a Spatial Data Professional Moving Forward Is Being Ac Active Part Of A Larger Technical Team
--
The real strength of GIS today isn’t in being the “GIS person (aka boffin) in the corner”, on some island where you got info supplies on a schedule (to overwork the metaphor!)
That island is gone. The role of the spatial professional is – and should be – shifting…
Instead – for the betterment of all! - it is in being a collaborative part of a technical team working on real problems - where your primary (but not only) contribution is spatial data and spatial thinking, as
If you go with the eicky jargon, it is about being the bridge not the silo 🗺️💼
You don’t have to be (and can’t be) the expert on every part of a project (that is why there is a team!) - but you do want and indeed need to know enough about the different technical aspects of the work to be genuinely helpful as it proceeds. The more you understand the context, the better your contribution, including in problem solving and perhaps seeing potential concerns & the proverbial ‘areas for improvement ‘
Get curious about each use case, especially the technical aspects and the desired outcomes for the team. Ask questions. Collaborate. Let the domain experts teach you their world, and show them what spatial thinking can add in return. That exchange is where the best work happens.
Solid, definable progress shows up when your skills fit into & hence complement & amplify the broader technical picture - and when you’re willing to grow with the team rather than sit in a narrow role. Pigeonholes are for birds, not GIS professionals.
P.S. Nobody cares which flavor of spatial tools you use. They care that you know how to use them well, creatively, and in service of the problem at hand.
P.P.S. The project I have been working on & with for the last decade (!) - rightly - went from a 'cartography product’ with an almost ancillary spatial data use' - 'evolving spatial data that is ALSO used for cartography - and much more!'...

Topographic Regime Controls The Response Of Erosion To Large Earthquakes [New Zealand]
--
https://doi.org/10.1130/G54785.1 8.0) on two lake sedimentary systems in New Zealand and use a combination of geochemical proxies to explore organic matter provenance and soil erosion. The two catchments differ notably in their geomorphic properties, with the median slope of the Lake Mapourika catchment of 47° (+11°/−18°) versus 39° (+9°/−13°) in the Lake Paringa catchment. Carbon and nitrogen isotopes, n-alkane abundance, and n-alkane hydrogen isotopes show that in the steeper Lake Mapourika catchment, landslides from the earthquake mobilized aged soil organic matter and rock-derived organic carbon by deep erosion. Rock organic carbon erosion increased from 15% (+14%/−10%) to 24% (+13%/−13%) in the Lake Mapourika catchment following the earthquake. By comparing the slopes, sediment connectivity, and stream power indices, [they] show[ed] that in the steeper Lake Mapourika catchment, erosion mobilized deeper soil and more bedrock than in Lake Paringa throughout the record, implying that bedrock landslides remained a key process both during and after the earthquake. Thus, [they] find that even along the same fault zone and under similar climatic, geological, and ecological conditions, topography strongly controls physical erosion as well as its response to widespread landsliding events…”
