Survey data on the perceptions and impacts of gender inequality in the geosciences

The data stem from an anonymous, online survey conducted from March 25 to April 11, 2018 using Google Surveys. The link to the survey was distributed by the authors via emails and social media (Twitter and Facebook). Among the 1415 participants, we analyzed the responses of those who identified as either female or male (leaving out seven non-binary respondents due to the small sample size), and currently work in academia (i.e., universities or research institutes, including emeritus and adjunct professors, research support staff, and research assistants). We thereby retained 1220 respondents with a gender distribution of 67.0% female to 33.0% male survey participants.

Based on this survey, we published to following freely accessible article: Popp, A. L.; Lutz, S. R.; Khatami, S.; van Emmerik, T. H. M.; Knoben, W. J. M.
