The CGA would like to say farewell to GIS & Earth Observation Operator, Lauren McCarthy, who is leaving to take up an au pairing position in the Netherlands.

It has been a great pleasure working with Lauren and we would like to thank her for her commitment and dedication to the CGA. She has been a valuable employee, starting as a part-time employee in 2018 working on the SUDEM and DEMSA2, later being appointed to a full-time position after successfully completing her honours degree in GeoInformatics in 2019. In addition to the DEM projects, Lauren has been an integral component to the Plantation, Campus and Major Biomes of South Africa mapping projects, as well as contributing to numerous other GIS and EO projects. We wish her the best as she embarks her new adventure.
