This episode features Dr. Tahisa Kuck, Science and Technology Analyst at the Institute for Advanced Studies of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of the Brazilian Air Force and Professor Tatiana Pará, professor at the Federal Institute of Pará.
Professor Tatiana has a master's degree in development and management of the Amazon. She works with university extension taking geoprocessing tools to remote communities, promoting inclusion of girls and women in the world of STEM. She founded the group MENINAS DA GEO and is entrepreneurial with stewardship activities and collaborative mapping. She mentors the Youthmappers IFPA chapter and has several research activities regarding monitoring deforestation in the Amazon. Her focus is to insert new people into basic education that can use geotechnologies as a tool for decision making.
Dr. Tahisa has a PhD in Applied Geosciences from University of Brasilia, Master in Remote Sensing from the National Institute for Space Research - INPE. Bachelor of Architecture and Urbanism. Member of the research group RSATE (Remote Sensing Applied to Tropical Environments). She works with research in the area of microwave remote sensing (SAR) and machine learning for tropical forests. At Institute for Advanced Studies, she is part of the PITER-N project team, whose research focuses on the autonomy of night flights of drones based on computer vision.
Listen to hosts Dr. Flávia de Souza Mendes and Dr. Yhasmis Mendes talk to them about this and more in this episode.
Season 13 of Scene from Above is brought to you by Geoawesomeness and UP42. Be sure to check out the EO Hub that we featured on the episode this week: https://geoawesomeness.com/eo-hub/

This episode features Dr. Karen Joyce, an Associate Professor at James Cook University in Cairns, Australia. Dr. Joyce is an innovator of all things Earth Observations from science to creating community. In her research, she explores novel usages of drone platforms building upon her experience in the military. Outside of her research, she is an entrepreneur who has led the development of the GEONadir drone data sharing and processing platform as well as created an educational network and resources for introducing young girls to UAVs called Shemaps. She is also a founder of the Dames of Drones network! Listen to hosts Dr. Morgan Crowley and Dr. Gopika Suresh talk to her about this and more in this episode.
