We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Environmental Science “Women at the Frontier of Freshwater Science” 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, across all fields of Freshwater Science.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Freshwater Science research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. This Research Topic will aim to highlight the scope of the Freshwater Science section, which you can view here: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/environmental-science/sections/freshwater-science#about
Topics of interest include, but are not confined to, the following:
• Basic freshwater science
• Multiple stressors, interactions, responses, and monitoring
• Restoration and conservation
• Socio-ecological science, governance, and policy
The article types of interest include reviews, mini-reviews, and original research articles. We also hope to highlight the research works of early career researchers and emerging women in freshwater science.
Please note: To be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
