Sarah Parcak

Sarah Parcak is an archaeologist and space archaeologist who uses satellite imagery and remote sensing technology to discover and study ancient sites around the world. By analyzing images taken from satellites, she can identify hidden structures, cities, or artifacts beneath the soil that are difficult to detect from the ground. Her approach allows for more efficient and non-invasive archaeology, helping preserve historical sites while expanding our understanding of past civilizations. Parcak's work has revolutionized archaeological discovery and earned her recognition, including the 2016 TED Prize, supporting efforts to locate and protect cultural heritage globally.
