Rise of Women in Wetland Science & Tech

Originally Broadcast on January 21st, 2021, 12:30 - 1:30 pm ET

Women are major contributors to both the biological sciences and the geospatial technologies that are ushering wetland science into the twenty-first century. How did these nine professional women wetland scientists, engineers, and GIS specialists navigate their career achievements and obstacles?

 

Join our rich panel discussion to see how women scientists have promulgated unique scientific approaches, created cutting-edge software, and written policy in respect to the management and monitoring of our natural heritage.

WEBINAR MODERATOR

Jeremy Schewe, PWS, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, Ecobot

As an ecologist conducting wetlands delineations, threatened & endangered species surveys, and baseline ecological inventories for over 18 years around the world, I have been able to avoid the rise of tech for many years more than people in most other professions, due to the lack of quality tools available to environmental scientists. It is the 21st century, however, and the wheel of innovation is rolling through every profession, including earth sciences.

Technology impacts the way we live and work. Natural resources consulting is no exception.

Each webinar will address various aspects of the increasingly important role that technology plays in wetland science, and conclude with a Q&A panel discussion with consultant, regulatory, and tech development industry leaders.
