Impressive stories of women using geospatial technology to create
sustainable solutions for problems the world faces. The third
volume in the Women and GIS series shows how 31 diverse women in
various STEAM fields discovered their passion, broke down barriers,
and used maps, analysis, imagery, and geographic information
systems (GIS) to advance their fields and improve the world.
Sharing their experiences from childhood and throughout their
careers, each woman reveals her journey in an inspiring
recollection of the obstacles she has overcome, the knowledge she
has gained along the way, and how tenacity and determination have
helped her succeed. Each woman shares tips and words of wisdom that
she's gained along the way, including: Priscilla Mbama Abasi:
"Think big! Think about going to space, think about building things
no one has seen before." Arianna Armelli: "If you are like me and
crave the freedom to explore a path of the unknown, aka
entrepreneurship, a career in STEM will foster the technical
foundation to achieve those goals." Gabi Fleury: "The best advice I
was given starting out was 'forge your own path.' Conservation
isn't a structured, straight-line career, you can get into it in
many ways. This is exciting, but it also can be really challenging,
because you have to be flexible, innovative, and always on the
lookout for the next opportunity." Healy Hamilton: "Success, to me,
is a daily feeling that you are living true to your values, that
you are meaningfully contributing to the world you want to create."
Katharine Hayhoe: "While it's important to have people you respect
and trust give you feedback at key points in your career, when it
all comes down to it, you have to make the decisions that feel
right for you, not the ones that necessarily look best on paper.
You're the one who has to live with them." Featuring strong,
persevering women from around the globe, the stories found in Women
and GIS, Volume 3: Champions of a Sustainable World will inspire
readers who are developing their own life stories to strive for
success and achieve amazing accomplishments.
