The Scene From Above Podcast

This episode features Dr. Karen Joyce, an Associate Professor at James Cook University in Cairns, Australia. Dr. Joyce is an innovator of all things Earth Observations from science to creating community. In her research, she explores novel usages of drone platforms building upon her experience in the military. Outside of her research, she is an entrepreneur who has led the development of the GEONadir drone data sharing and processing platform as well as created an educational network and resources for introducing young girls to UAVs called Shemaps. She is also a founder of the Dames of Drones network!
