Women and Climatology
Main Article Content
Abstract
Women have had a very important role since the beginning of the development of Climatology as a scientific discipline in the early seventies of the last century. This is evidenced by his participation in the scientific meetings that culminated in the formation of the Climatology Group within the Spanish Association of Geography and later with the constitution of the Spanish Association of Climatology (AEC). Of the nine meetings of the Climatology Group of the AGE, only four have involved women and not exclusively. Since the constitution of the ACS, women have always had a leading role in the different boards of directors. Of the twelve congresses organized by the ACS, half have involved women along with male researchers, some of them from the field of Physics.
Of the twenty-one research groups dedicated to climate issues, only in four the PI is female, in the rest the women are part of the research team whose PI is male.
In terms of lines of research, women have participated in regional climatology, urban climate, climate variability, climate change and risks and in applied climatology.
