Biography
Tracey Pitman – Project Facilitator, Ocean Science
Tracey facilitates and coordinates multi-agency projects on ocean and coastal dynamics research—critical for informed planning, operations, and resilience in the face of climate change and extreme weather impacts.
She helps "oil the wheels" of project delivery by:
- 🧩 Facilitating communications to help projects stay on track
- 🎯 Helping develop creative solutions to challenges as they arise
- 📈 Contributing to business development and contracting
For over 15 years, Tracey has supported scientific teams providing dynamic ocean information, and her coordination and advocacy are helping shape the role of project facilitation across CSIRO's ocean science portfolio, strengthening collaboration and client satisfaction.
Before becoming a facilitator, Tracey spent 10 years as a research scientist in microbial and algal ecology, including a year of fieldwork in Antarctica. Her career includes work in CSIRO’s Algal Culture Collection, laboratory management, marine policy research, and workshop facilitation—spanning all levels of government: local, state, and Commonwealth.
