Argyll Analytics
Environmental Data Analysis & Geospatial Intelligence
Background
Environmental Analysis for Sustainability Insights
I’m Yvonne Booth, and I founded Argyll Analytics in 2025. I bring together expertise in Earth and ocean sciences, geospatial analysis, environmental assessment, and data‑driven insight to support evidence‑based decision‑making across a range of sectors. My focus is on transforming complex environmental and spatial information into clear, visual outputs that help clients understand patterns, assess potential impacts, and act with confidence, whether they are planning, managing, or researching environmental challenges.
Geospatial Intelligence
Geospatial analysis is at the core of what I do. By integrating environmental, geographic, and human datasets, I create maps, models, and dashboards that reveal insights difficult to see in raw data. Geospatial analysis reveals relationships and patterns, helping organisations make informed decisions earlier and with greater clarity.
These outputs help organisations:
identify constraints and opportunities early
communicate findings clearly to technical and non‑technical audiences
support transparent, defensible decision‑making
explore scenarios and understand spatial relationships
prioritise resources efficiently
Capabilities
Esri applications, including ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online
QGIS experience across mapping, spatial analysis, and geoprocessing
Creation of interactive maps and spatial dashboards
Integration of environmental, geographic, and human datasets
Spatial modelling to support environmental and strategic assessments
Environmental Assessment
I support environmental and geospatial projects across a range of sectors, primarily in coastal and marine settings. My environmental assessment work helps organisations understand constraints, sensitivities, and opportunities so they can plan responsibly, meet regulatory expectations, communicate decisions clearly, and develop sustainably.
Areas of experience
Screening and scoping / Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and reporting
GIS mapping for constraints, sensitivities, impact analysis, and compliance
Data processing and analysis for environmental studies
Assisting with hydrodynamic modelling and reporting
Stakeholder engagement and regulatory awareness
Data Science
Data science strengthens my geospatial and environmental work by enabling deeper analysis, automation, and clear visualisation of complex datasets.
Skills
- Data mining, processing, analysis, and visualisation using Python and SQL
- Dashboard creation and reporting
- Working with large, complex datasets
An example of these capabilities is shown in the capstone project completed for IBM certification (link below).

Scientific Foundation
My background in geology and oceanography provides a strong scientific foundation for my work. This experience developed my analytical approach, field skills, understanding of natural systems, and communication skills. This scientific foundation underpins the geospatial, environmental, and data‑driven services I provide today.
Professional Memberships & Certifications
My work is supported by ongoing professional development and membership in organisations that promote high standards in environmental, geospatial, and data science practice.

What You Can Expect
My approach is grounded in clarity, scientific rigour, and effective communication. I focus on producing outputs that are accessible to both technical and non‑technical audiences, ensuring that environmental and spatial evidence can be used confidently in decision‑making.
If you’re working on a project that could benefit from environmental or geospatial insight, I’d welcome a conversation about how we might work together.
