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 Earth Science is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Structural Geology and Tectonics.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Structural Geology and Tectonics research and showcases advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. This Research Topic should include investigations that use field and remote observations, laboratory experiments, computer simulations, as well as multidisciplinary collaborations with petrology, geochemistry, rock mechanics, surface processes, geophysics, and geodynamics to better understand geological processes and the geometry, kinematics, and dynamics of deformation from the atomic to the lithospheric scales.
Please note: To be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
