Yesterday’s social dinner was more than just a meal—it was a celebration of the roots and branches of the ForestSAT community.

We took a walk down memory lane, honoring the history of our conferences and the pioneers who shaped forest remote sensing. But it wasn't all serious—ForestSAT Bingo brought out everyone’s competitive side and sparked some fantastic new connections! 🌲

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Dr. Mikey Mohan has been awarded the Thomas Hilker Early Career Scientist Memorial Award at ! 🌲
​
​The award, in honor of the late remote-sensing researcher Thomas Hilker, recognizes innovative, early career scientists who are destined to become global leaders in the field. More importantly, it honors those who engage in science collaboratively—with the same humility, kindness, and commitment to fostering inclusivity that Thomas was known for.

​🔬 About Dr. Mohan
​Dr. Mohan is the founder/CEO of Ecoresolve, a CA-based think tank focused on tech-based ecosystem restoration. A 2024 UC Berkeley PhD graduate, Dr. Mohan has authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications, applying remote sensing to urgent environmental challenges worldwide. 🛰️

​Beyond his research, Mikey is a dedicated science communicator and advisor. From serving as a UN Volunteering Program Science Advisor to reaching over 400,000 viewers on YouTube, he is a proven leader in fostering global scientific dialogue and collaborative initiatives with organizations like the IUCN and RCU.

Congratulations Dr. Mohan! 🚀
