Women and GIS: Champions of a Sustainable World by ESRI Press

Melissa Watkinson and Savanna Nagorski, Washington Sea Grant

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 two UW alumni, twins Savanna Nagorski and Melissa Watkinson.
