Happy Women’s Day! ?? To celebrate women in science, we asked our students: Who is a woman scientist who inspires you? ?? #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #universityofmaryland #geoterps #geographicalscience

From climate activism to conservation, innovation to leadership, women drive change for a more sustainable and just world. ? This #InternationalWomensDay, @globallandscapesforum honors eight remarkable women who are redefining what’s possible—from restoring ecosystems and protecting Indigenous rights to revolutionizing climate finance and food security. These women are scientists, leaders, ecopreneurs, and storytellers, proving that local action creates a global impact. Whether reviving wetlands in Bolivia, harnessing AI for food security in Africa, or empowering women-led conservation initiatives, their work shapes a better future for all. ?? ??
