Dive Deep Into Data

Aythya, named after the genus of diving ducks, reflects our approach: going beneath the surface to uncover insights others might miss. We bring water, wildlife, and environmental data together to provide decision-makers with clarity they can act on.

Aythya Analytics was founded by Austen Lorenz, an environmental data scientist and geographer with nearly a decade at the U.S. Geological Survey. Austen co-led the development of AIMS for Wildlife, an automated tracking and reporting system built on the largest wildlife GPS dataset in the world. This work was recognized for geospatial innovation and produced numerous peer-reviewed publications and national conference presentations across ecology and geography.

Building on this experience, Aythya Analytics transforms complex datasets into practical dashboards, reports, and scientific products. Our mission is to help communities, agencies, and land managers make confident, science-driven decisions for a more resilient world.
