Hi! I am Benny Istanto 👋

An agricultural meteorologist by training and a certified GIS Professional (GISP). With over 15 years of experience working with the United Nations and various international organizations, I specialize in integrating advanced GIS modeling with climate technology to drive international development initiatives. My expertise encompasses agricultural climatology, satellite meteorology, simulation modeling, and the application of geospatial information management for natural resource management.

Currently, I serve as a Climate Geographer at the Geospatial Operations Support Team (GOST) of the Development Economic Data Group (DECDG) at The World Bank, Washington, DC. Collaborating with teams across the bank, I offer expertise in geospatial and climate analytics on a global scale. I also support the Risk Data Library project, led by a team from the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR). Serving as a Risk Data Librarian (Data Scientist), I make HEVL data play nice together for standardized risk insight. FAIR data for unfair disasters.

I write a blog related to climate, GIS, remote sensing and application to humanitarian activities at https://benny.istan.to/blog, I run a “casual weekend project” called Climate Social Responsibility (CSR – https://benny.istan.to/csr), to provide satellite-based climate and vegetation products for free, i.e. rainfall and anomaly, dry and wet spell, standardized precipitation index, and crop phenology.
