We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Environmental Science “Women in Biogeochemical Dynamics Research” series of article collections.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Environmental Science is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists. The papers presented here highlight the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Biogeochemical Dynamics research and the advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Submissions can include
- New insights on mechanisms governing biogeochemical cycles of nutrients, organic chemicals, and essential and toxic trace elements.
- Deciphering the biogeochemical dynamics of novel entities and combinations of inorganic/organic chemicals and their interplay with climate change and other anthropogenic stressors
- System approaches for biogeochemical flows
- Coupling of element cycles at ecosystem boundaries
- Multiscale and cross-disciplinary approaches
- Spatial biogeochemistry across different environmental settings
- Role of microorganisms in biogeochemical dynamics
Please note, to be considered for this collection, the first, last, or corresponding author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
