Why GeoCoLab? There are deep inequities in Geoscience in the UK and Globally. We are motivated to provide a digital solution that would help closer some of this inequality. Read more about our motivation 👇 geocolab.github.io/blog/blog1/

GeoCoLab recognises that geoscience has deep inequities at all levels. During the Natural Environment Research Council Digital Solutions to Open Environmental Science Hackathon we set out to explore how these inequities manifest in analytical science.

The Analogue Facility Access Gap geocolab.github.io/blog/blog3/ Headlines to come 👇

Nearly all respondents cite a lack of funding and prohibitively competitive national schemes as a barrier to accessing analytical facilities. This was felt most keenly by those respondents who had 1 or more 'marginalised' identity.

What is the impact of the 'access to analytical facilities gap'? During the Natural Environment Research Council Digital Technologies to Open Environmental Sciences, we went on to explore research activities and career trajectories of survey respondents. Full blog 👉 geocolab.github.io/blog/blog4/

The impact of this is felt throughout an individual’s career, as lack of publications has consequences for research reputation, grant capture and research group building.

We know that awards in geochemistry, which relies on analytical facilities, leadership positions, awards and honours are disproportionately given to white men, to the detriment of women and minority groups (Pourret et al., 2021).

As part of the Natural Environment Research Council Digital Technologies to Open Environmental Science Hackathon 2021, we wanted to explore how these inequities in access to analytical facilities may play out in global knowledge production of analytical geoscience.

As part of the Natural Environment Research Council Digital Technologies To Open Environmental Sciences Hackathon, we didn't want to just explore the issues. We wanted to tackle them. In an incredible feat of speed software development, @assortedginger built a proto-GeoCoLab app.

Great thread on #ParachuteScience in analytical geosciences

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded pilot funding! Please check out our website to find out all about us and how analytical facilities can get involved 👇

Exciting news! GeoCoLab led by Dr Rebecca Williams has recieved pilot funding from Natural Environment Research Council! Find out about what GeoCoLab achieved during the Digital Technologies to Open Up Environmental Sciences Hackathon here 👇 University of Hull Science @ Hull FSE_Research

Super excited about this 😁

Combating #ParachuteScience in data analytics @elliotjcarter explains the recent work of the GeoCoLab group, who analysed where parachute science happens most & are creating a website/app to match researchers with labs, on EGU GMPV Division #EGUblogs. Read more: egu.eu/4NXB8W/

GeoCoLab is helping to bridge the analytical facilities gap for underserved geoscientists. 👇🏿👇🏿

Halleluya Ekandjo and I discuss some of the issues and solutions specific to ore deposit research parachute science. Whether you’ve got it right or wrong in the past, let’s draw a line under bad practice and move toward better, more inclusive international geoscience. DM for a copy

Great to hear from @SianDV about the work of GeoCoLab geocolab.github.io providing access to analytical facilities for underserved researchers
