S3E07 Down to Earth: Growing the next generation of climate scientists

While scientists are building new remote sensing networks in Costa Rica, others are merging networks to build capacity across Africa. Through her work as the Co-Founder of African Women in GIS, Geospatial Analyst Chidimma Umeogu Maduka is supporting other women in pursuing geoscience. At the same time, she’s also applying her geospatial knowledge to tackle the socio-economic barriers Nigerians are facing on the climate change front. From helping assess when and where to plant trees as part of Nigeria’s reforestation campaigns, to bringing visibility to the amazing women geoscientists across Africa, Chiddima is all about using remote sensing for empowerment!
