Identify with a Scientist

What does a geoscientist look like? Not surprisingly, a substantial number of geoscientists are female. We’ve profiled a few geoscientists here to offer you the opportunity to read their stories and learn about career possibilities, types of geoscientists, how their work directly or indirectly benefits society, and the diverse paths these women have taken to reach their current position. We hope you’ll find a person with whom you can identify!
