Dr. Kate Fickas

Last night was a thrilling evening on #CapitolHill celebrating #Landsat50 with @NASA Earth Science Director @KarenStG and @AsstSecTrujillo! @LadiesOfLandsat were able to share their research with congressional staff & promote the next 50 years of #Landsat and #WomenInSTEM!

You won't want to miss this group of talks focused on policy, diplomacy, and process - in other words, how to get stuff done. #17-0900-policy-lightning-talks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2024.satsummit.io/agenda/2/#17-0… #SatSummit2024

Our Director of Imagery and Remote Sensing Solutions, Kate Fickas 🛰️ is speaking at CalTech's Innovations in the Science & Policy of Water Quality Measurement 🚰🔬 event on April 12 in Pasadena, CA! Learn more about the event here: esri.social/5nm850RejKb

@mishafredmeyer We get it…you’re a data scientist (jkjkjk)

Well…it’s that time again…watching a solar eclipse and checking on the Google trends for “eyes hurt” #Eclipse2024

🛰️ Australia and the United States are entering into a new partnership to deliver higher resolution land imaging data more often, with greater reliability than ever. Landsat Next will deliver more data in 1 year than has been delivered in the past 50. 👉 bit.ly/4ap4gAJ

As a true millennial, I'm also trying something new this year: using Instagram to show what’s happening live (I have to keep up with @deepseadawn and @John_M_Nelson!). If you want an easy way keep up-to-date you can find my new work account here: instagram.com/docpixelpower 🛰️📸🖼️

I’m excited to be in Monterey this week at @geoworldmedia GeoBuiz 2024! Today I’ll be speaking on how we break down barriers to get from #imagery to insight during a deep dive into #EO in #GIS & #geospatial applications. Should be a great discussion w/ fellow speakers! 🛰️🗺️💡

Congratulations to @MortimerWerther and his coauthor for their paper being recognized by @JournalofRS editors for one of the Top Articles of 2023! You can read it here: spj.science.org/doi/10.34133/r…

Oh my, terrible news that @jarlathond suffered a fatal heart attack skiing. Big loss for our Geo community, VT friends, colleagues, students… RIP

@deepseadawn @OregonState @OSUCEOAS JJ and Kuuipo!! Julia was on my MS committee and was so wonderful to me and Kuuipo taught me python!

Loving the time with some of the “wahine mana”(powerful, magical women faculty) 🌺 of @OregonState while back “home” this week in Corvallis with @OSUCEOAS

Congratulations to @igoroga as this is so well deserved! On top of his science, Igor has been a kind and patient colleague in @geoaquawatch (and journal editor at @FrontRSens!) with me this year and I’m so grateful. Many cheers 🥳

@josephkerski I hope this can help spark discussions in the education community @josephkerski! I want to break down barriers to entry!

@hydrobert @LakeGroupAU Congratulations Robert!!!

I am excited to announce that I have accepted a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor position for Lake Modeling and Freshwater Ecology at Aarhus University! Starting this December, I am going to establish my own research group at the Department of Ecoscience, @LakeGroupAU.

Applications opened up this month for Esri Internships! 🎊 If you need pointers on getting the most out of your @Esri internship, read this blog: esri.social/XzbI50PKfr4 . @EsriYPN #EsriCareers #Internship

@BzGEO @EricOnEarth Trying to find where it's written that you can't use both.

We'll up this contrast tweet by emphasizing the "coding-based vs. GUI-based" dichotomy in the current world of #geospatial. BTW, "scripty vs. pointy-clicky" was coined in a meeting [today] by @EricOnEarth. 😄 #GISchat

@Earth2Mika @Esri Thank you, Michelle! You are so kind ❤️ Hopefully we can find something to overlap soon! Will you be at GEOWeek in Nov?

@katefickas @Esri Congrats, Kate!!! You’re gonna be an amazing leader and can’t wait to collaborate with you again!! ❤️

‼️ I am incredibly excited to tell you I’ve taken the position of @Esri Director of Imagery and Remote Sensing Solutions ‼️ This position is centered around building bridges between #GIS and pixels & finding connections between #data and users…a true dream! 🛰️🚁 🏗️👩‍🌾👷‍♀️👩‍⚕️🧑‍🏫👩‍🔧👩‍🔬

@GoodbodyT @IRSS_UBC @txominhermos @PiotrTompalski @Francois_duToit @AgathaCzekajlo Congratulations!! Sounds like an awesome gig!!
