Sarah Parcak Biography

There may be tens of thousands of obscure, historic locations worldwide, if not a large number. Sarah Parcak must track them down. She analyses infrared symbology collected from high above the surface of the Earth as a space classicist. She identifies subtle alterations that signify a manufactured nearness hidden from view. She founded the Laboratory for Global Observation at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. She is a TED Senior Fellow and a National Geographic Explorer. Her goal was to reveal the hidden history of the globe eventually. Her grandfather, an early airborne photography pioneer, energized Parcak. She took a lesson on remote sensing in school while thinking about studying Egyptology and then developed a method for using satellite data to identify locations with significant amounts of archaeological remains. She wrote the core course reading on prehistoric satellite research, which examines the quick and cost-effective discovery of new places. Her methods in Egypt have uncovered 1000 lost burial sites, 3100 ignored villages, and 17 probable pyramids. She has also found essential discoveries in the Viking and Roman eras, and she appeared in the PBS Nova production Vikings Unearthed and the BBC story Rome's Lost Empire.
