2016

In 2016, she was the recipient of Smithsonian magazine's American Ingenuity Award in the History category.

A BBC co-production with PBS, NOVA/WGBH Boston and France Television, Vikings Unearthed (first broadcast April 4, 2016) documented her use of satellite imagery to detect possible remains of a Norse / Viking presence at Point Rosee, Newfoundland. In 2015, Parcak found what she thought to be the remains of a turf wall and roasted bog iron ore, however, the 2016 excavation showed that the "turf wall" and accumulation of bog iron ore were the results of natural processes.

2015

In 2015, she won the $1 million TED Prize for 2016.

2012

In May 2012, she was the subject of a half-hour program on CNN's The Next List which profiles innovators "who are setting trends and making strides in various fields."

She was the focus of "Rome's Lost Empire", a TV documentary by Dan Snow, first shown on BBC One on 9 December 2012. She prospectively identified several significant sites in Romania, Nabataea, Tunisia, and Italy, including the arena at Portus, the lighthouse and a canal to Rome beside the river Tiber.

2011

In 2011, Parcak discovered 17 previously unknown pyramids in Egypt as well as thousands of previously unknown underground sites. www.uab.edu/news/people/item/1287-uab-professor... May 25, 2011

In May 2011, the BBC aired a documentary, Egypt's Lost Cities, describing BBC-sponsored research carried out by Parcak's UAB team for over a year using infra-red satellite imaging from commercial and NASA satellites. The programme discussed the research and showed Parcak in Egypt looking for physical evidence. The UAB team announced that they had "discovered" 17 pyramids, more than 1,000 tombs and 3,000 ancient settlements outside Sa el-Hagar, Egypt. However, the Minister of State for Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, was critical of the announcement and said : "This is completely wrong information. Any archeologist will deny this completely".

2009

In 2009, satellite imagery was evidence of how looting had escalated in Egypt.

In 2009, her book Satellite Remote Sensing for Archaeology was published by Routledge, describing the methodology of satellite archaeology. A review in Antiquity described it as focusing "more on technical methodology than interpretation and analysis," described Parcak's work as, "written in a lively style that makes a highly technical subject accessible to a general audience," and concluded that it was "a good introduction for undergraduate students of archaeology, anthropology and geography."

2007

In 2007, she founded the Laboratory for Global Observation at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

2003

From 2003 to 2004, Parcak used a combination of satellite imaging analysis and surface surveys to discover 17 new pyramid and thousands of sites of archaeological interest, some dating back to 3,000 B.C.
