Here is something I'm really proud of.

Besides trying my best to be an example as a scientists, I really have a strong motivation to push for a greater representation of women in STEM fields. I also am very proud of my Environmental Engineering background, and truly believe such technological basis connected with the environment will be key to tackle future environmental demands.

This project is developed by a woman. A young, motivated (and very inspiring too!) researcher. A true example that should be cherish and promoted. Thank you Saranya.

Episode #12: Dr. Diana Vieira talks about wildfire, soil erosion, and the importance of technology in environmental engineering by Women In Environmental Engineering & ScienceDiana Vieira is an Environmental Engineer with a special focus on soil erosion risk. She dedicated most of her time to monitoring burned areas and understanding the underlying key processes in fire-affected soils and landscapes to better adapt models to burned conditions. During her research path, she was the Principal investigator of the FEMME project and supervised Ph.D. theses, postdoctoral and MSc fellowships, participated in national and EU projects, and organized international scientific events. Currently, in the European Soil Observatory, she is dedicated to large-scale post-fire soil erosion modeling, land degradation, healthy soils, and the assessment, fate, and remediation of soil pollution in EU soils. Diana Vieira is also dedicated to knowledge transference and strongly believes that art and technology should go hand in hand, and is a fervent advocate for equity and diversity.

In this contribution I spoke about my work on the JRC but also in the impacts of Wildfires in Europe following my latest publication.

Plantando cara al fuego its a Spanish project about citizen engagement and education on wildfires. They organize several activities such as workshops, internships and dissemination with students, stakeholders, researchers, among others.
