Retention in Geoscience Survey

For a long time, there's been talk about leaky pipelines, the need for diversity, and thinking about the future of geoscience. But finding data has been tricky.

 

In completing this survey, you are helping to better understand when and why people are leaving the geoscience profession, and providing insight into how the profession might retain these valuable contributors.

 

Although this survey has been put forth by the WGC , it is intended to explore the factors involved in retention, regardless of gender and location.
