Explorer and scientist Ulyana Nadia Horodyskyj reveals how she reaches new heights in her work.

Mineral alteration geology studies rely on field observations, sample collection and analysis by hyperspectral infrared spectroscopy. This technique not only gives geologists evidence of some alteration minerals present but can also provide information on the climatic conditions that the landscape has faced in the past, thus providing answers to a variety of climate change questions.
In this SelectScience interview, we speak with Ulyana Nadia Horodyskyj, founder of Science in the Wild, an initiative that gives the public a chance to participate in immersive and educational adventure citizen science expeditions around the world – ranging from climbing mountains such as Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua or trekking through volcanic fields to exploring Moon/Earth analog landscapes on Earth. Alongside these trips, Horodyskyj also publishes field reports, providing valuable data on a variety of climatological questions. Here, she shares the portable technology enabling her research and how Science in the Wild is going to adapt in a postpandemic world.
