Don’t be afraid to reach for the stars: Lessons learned from a career in remote sensing
14 th November 2023
Dr. McNairn is thrilled to be invited to deliver a webinar for the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) Women in Africa initiative. She will discuss an overview of her research, and will provide her perspective on the amazing future that SAR will play in monitoring agro- ecosystems. Dr. McNairn is a proud member of the GRSS IDEA team and is co-chair of GRSS’ Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility and Belonging (DEIAB) committee. She has been a life-long champion of supporting women in the field of remote sensing.
