Grappling with barriers in geosciences from the lens of two Latina geoscientists

Figures & data

Figure 1. The suggested typology of barriers. Examples of barrier types with the coinciding barrier icon including roadblocks, detours, and alternative routes.

Figure 2. A schematic detailing the journey of building the geoscience camp for middle school girls. In this schematic the barriers are shown as their respective type detailed in Figure 1, and the relationships and interactions of barriers are depicted for roadblocks (a-d), detours (e-g), and alternative routes (h-j). The anticipated start and finish of the journey are shown by checkered flags, and the direction of the final, winding road journey is shown by the arrow “journey direction.”
