We take this opportunity to also highlight the contributions of our early-career researchers who are active in broader scientific initiatives. The wall features several prominent examples of our students’ engagement in international networks:
Women in Mountains: High-altitude research presents unique logistical and physical challenges. We are pleased to feature students, namely Dilara Kim, involved in the “Women in Mountains” initiative, whose work in alpine remote sensing provides critical data on climate change in sensitive high-elevation ecosystems and supports young female scientists in their research.
Women in Science: We believe that visibility is a prerequisite for progress. The Hex Wall showcases also the work of our female scientists who are leading data collection efforts, from vertical climbing for spectral measurements or drone deployments for Lidar measurements, reinforcing our commitment to an inclusive research environment.
The Hex Wall is designed to be dynamic or growing. We encourage our doctoral candidates and master’s students to suggest high-resolution imagery from their field seasons and research to be featured on this wall. This ensures that our public-facing areas remain as current as our research.
