Current activities
Kim Picard is a marine geoscientist with Geoscience Australia’s Coastal, Marine, and Climate Change Group since September 2012. Her current research interests lie in shallow subseabed and benthic habitat mapping, geomorphology, and sedimentology. Since her arrival to Australia, she participated in many surveys, including the NERP Oceanic Shoal and Ball's Pyramid surveys. When not contributing to NERP, Kim's efforts have been focused on GA projects related to the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan.

In 2009, Kim worked for the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), focusing on habitat mapping with the MAREANO program. In 2010, Kim went on to explore new grounds, working on stratigraphic modelling of the Beaufort Shelf in the Canadian Arctic.
