Komarkova used Braun-Blanquet methods to classify plants floristically, a method unpopular in the United States, that gained recognition in 2004.

1986

She returned to Europe in 1986 and worked at the American College of Switzerland in Leysin as Professor of Science and information technology.

1980

Komarkova led The American Women's Expedition up Dhaulagiri in 1980, but were pushed back by storms, avalanches and the death of a team member.

1978

To raise funds for the 1978 expedition, the team sold T-shirts with the slogan "A woman's place is on top".

They were also sponsored by ob tampons, which Komarkova noted was "the unexpected advantage of an all-women team".
