Aliaksandra Skachkova
Earth Observation Specialist
I joined BAS in 2022. Before this, I have been working on a number of projects involving the analysis of Earth Observation data for nature conservation, agriculture, and physical risk assessment. Obtained Ph.D. in Geography at the Belarusian State University in 2021.
