This session aims to highlight and discuss the diverse experiences of women in the geosciences, as well as the challenges and opportunities they encounter throughout their careers. We welcome contributions that share personal perspectives, institutional practices, leadership roles in projects and research addressing gender equity in geoscience. Topics may include, but are not limited to: career progression, work–life balance, mentoring and role models, fieldwork experiences, inclusivity in research teams, and structural or cultural barriers within academia, industry, and policy.
We particularly encourage submissions that offer solutions, best practices, or new initiatives fostering a more inclusive geoscience community. By bringing together these contributions, the session seeks to promote dialogue, raise awareness, and inspire actionable steps toward greater gender equity and diversity in the field.
