Geospatial Training by Women, for Women
Because climate change disproportionately impacts women and girls, Earth science cannot be fully effective in addressing climate issues without including the realities and unique knowledge of women. Unfortunately, many women are excluded from participating in both the field of Earth science and in community decision-making.
