She thought that it looks a lot like \"art, but science\". Looking at the Earth from afar, she was reminded of the beauty of the nature in larger scale and wished to use this knowledge to do something for the environment.

Currently, I am investigating a wide range of opportunities for satellite data utilization. In particular, my present research focuses on verifying the application of satellite data in forestry. In the forestry industry, where data utilization has not been widely adopted, I see the creation of forest credits as an opportunity. While leveraging this opportunity, I aim to employ such data for efficient forest management. Additionally, I wish to undertake new initiatives by visualizing forest values that have yet to be seen.

In addition, she is the Director of the Quilombola Federation of MG, Executive Coordinator of CONAQ and Coordinator of the CONAQ Women's collective. Her quilombola origin of struggle to maintain cultural roots, ancestry and territories made her understand early that she had a different mission.
The presence of her mother Sebastiana and her deep religious roots made her understand very early that quilombolas are a people who struggle for a different meaning from the ones that permeates the existence of most of the people around them. This perception also had an impact on the way in which her political trajectory took place, which originated from a deep desire to create means for the quilombola collective existence to be maintained. It was a natural way: one thing pulling the other, one struggle leading to the other, and this was how the entities with she connected began to emerge. CONAQ, the Federation, Women of the Country, AMNB, Coalition among other fronts. That was how she built her conceptions of the quilombola project, of society, of the power relations that permeate not only the quilombola struggle, but the struggle of black women for rights, recognition, respect and dignity and territoriality.

Since 2017, Katherine has worked alongside CEC scientists Jared Stabach, Melissa Songer and Peter Leimgruber to support the reintroduction of scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah), addax (Addax nasomaculatus), and other highly endangered species to the Reserve de Faune du Ouadi Rim\u00e9-Ouadi Achim in Chad (RFOROA). This reintroduction project is a joint initiative of the Government of Chad and the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi. In Chad, the project is implemented by SaharaConservation, in partnership with the Ministry for the Environment, Fisheries and Sustainable Development. As technical partners on the project, SNZCBI scientists fit tracking devices to reintroduced animals, track their movements after release, and analyze the resulting data to conduct fundamental research on endangered mammals, refine management practices, and assess the overall progress of the reintroduction.
Dr. Mertes's research combines remote sensing and field data on environmental conditions with animal occurrence and movement data to investigate how mobile individuals, populations and species perceive and respond to their environment. Her PhD dissertation evaluated the spatial scales (grains) at which species perceive and respond to environmental factors. From 2011 to 2015, she conducted focal sampling surveys and deployed solar-powered GPS/UHF/GSM tags on four bird species across Kenya, and demonstrated that each species responded to their environment at characteristic spatial grains. These \"response grains\" were associated with species attributes, primarily diet and home range size, and define important parameters for research and conservation - such as the optimal size and spacing of study sites, appropriate resolutions for remotely sensed data, and minimum effective area for management actions.

During my Ph.D., I produced optimized maps of vegetation photosynthesis for the Iberian Peninsula (best Ph.D. Thesis award). Afterward, during my postdoc, among other activities, I also led the research to create a unique data set of global maps of vegetation traits and collaborated to produce the first operational photosynthesis maps at high spatial resolution for the US at the University of Montana/NTSG.
My expertise and knowledge acquired in developing and improving operational NASA products and the Google Earth Engine platform facilitate me to develop novel geospatial products and applications. Nowadays, working at the ISP (University of Valencia), I am exploiting my expertise in combination with advanced machine learning and causal inference techniques to undertake the challenge of improving and understanding ecosystem processes.

In these roles, I use remote sensing and geospatial tools (mainly GEE) to monitor the landscapes in which TNC works. This work helps TNC prioritize project areas, assess impacts of project implementation, and adaptively manage conservation interventions.Prior to this position, I worked with Panthera, as a Remote Sensing Scientist, helping conserve wild cat species globally and the landscapes on which they depend. I have a Ph.D. in Forestry and Conservation Science from the University of Montana and a Masters in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana. My passion for landscape-level conservation stems from my upbringing in Kenya, my work in conservation across the Serengeti/Maasai Mara ecosystem in East Africa, and my academic work on rangeland systems.
