I don't know any moms who work remote multi-week rosters, but I do know a few dads who do so.C W Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706100504739548720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-54638149489803289872009-11-02T15:34:17.894-05:002009-11-02T15:34:17.894-05:00We're a downhole logging group of scientists a...We're a downhole logging group of scientists and at the moment the women outnumber the men. We've got three male logging scientists as compared to six female between our US and European offices. It hasn't always been that way, but being an academic group, we often have a higher than usual ratio than industry.Maryhttp://ldeo.columbia.edu/BRGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-33227818949452461712009-11-02T14:53:05.224-05:002009-11-02T14:53:05.224-05:00Although it's been almost 10 years since I wor...Although it's been almost 10 years since I worked in the environmental consulting business, I just cannot conceive of a driller getting away with refusing to work with a female geologist.<br /><br />The company I used to work for had a woman geologist as one of its VPs, and if any drilling sub refused to work with any of our female geologists, the drilling company would be fired and probably never work for us again.<br /><br />The m/f ratio at the company I used to work for fluctuated at any given time because of turnover, but I would say on average it was probably close to 50/50 although I can remember one project in particular where it was 5:2 in favor of females.Rock Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543769768515349524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-91907219807231751162009-11-01T09:41:34.293-05:002009-11-01T09:41:34.293-05:00While I was at GSA, I asked Cindy Martinez of AGI ...While I was at GSA, I asked Cindy Martinez of AGI whether AGI had ever collected data on participation of women geoscientists in industry. (I was asking specifically about retention of women in industry vs academic careers, which is an even harder question than snapshots of a point in time.) Cindy said that they're planning to do a Geoscience Workforce Currents in the future on a related topic, so stay tuned.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738706550175991130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-43741883178622349382009-10-31T12:56:02.179-04:002009-10-31T12:56:02.179-04:00I work in petroleum geoscience R&D (so, not on...I work in petroleum geoscience R&D (so, not on well sites) and although my small team (6 people) is male-dominated, when all the geoscience teams are put together (~50 people) the ratio is probably about 60:40 male:female<br /><br />I've only been there for just under two years so can't really say if it's changed.BrianRhttp://clasticdetritus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-43289649488250698872009-10-30T17:54:10.653-04:002009-10-30T17:54:10.653-04:00My comments to up a little to much room so I just ...My comments to up a little to much room so I just put them here: http://marciepooh.blogspot.com/2009/10/5050.htmlMarciepoohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431669840944884297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-28587775919493859772009-10-30T15:14:02.708-04:002009-10-30T15:14:02.708-04:00PGH, PA - the only dept in the city has more wome...PGH, PA - the only dept in the city has more women than men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
