Isaac Young presented at the 2025 Research at the Capital event on his Bur Oak Blight research.

For this Women’s History Month, we would like to recognize the work that women are doing across the University of Iowa’s campus in fields of sustainability, technology, and science. Dr. Meerdink works in the field of Geographic Information Systems/Science (GIS) and remote sensing technology, combining the branches of ecology and machine-based studies to better understand and visualize the world around her.

The fellowship will help position graduate students to pursue innovative ways of thinking about publishing and sharing their creative endeavors working closely with the University of Iowa's Digital Scholarship and Publishing Studio.

The Dare to Discover campaign showcases researchers, scholars, and creators from across the University of Iowa. Isaac Young was selected for the 2024 Downtown Banner campaign featuring his research using remote sensing for detecting bur oak blight.
