Sustainability Advisor
Jarvis is an environmental scientist who advises developing countries on natural resource management, sustainability issues, contaminated land, and energy efficiency issues. Jarvis is currently a sustainability advisor on multilateral aid projects for the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and AusAID. Also a well-known explorer, he has undertaken treks to the North and South Poles and across some of Australia’s largest deserts, using his expeditions to broaden understanding of the scale of environmental issues facing the globe. Jarvis made headlines in 2007 when he successfully retraced Sir Douglas Mawson’s controversial 1912 expedition to Antarctica, using the same equipment and starvation rations as the original team. He subsequently authored an account of the expedition, Mawson: Life and Death in Antarctica, and was featured in an award-winning international documentary film of the same name. He is committed to finding pragmatic solutions to global environmental sustainability issues, and volunteers his time with a number of charitable organizations devoted to the environment and child welfare.
