Gender equity, providing for full participation of people of all genders in the oceanographic workforce, is an important goal for the continued success of the oceanographic enterprise. Here, we describe historical obstructions to gender equity; assess recent progress and the current status of gender equity in oceanography by examining quantitative measures of participation, achievement, and recognition; and review activities to improve gender equity. We find that women receive approximately half the oceanography PhDs in many parts of the world and are increasing in parity in earlier levels of academic employment. However, continued progress toward gender parity is needed, as reflected by metrics such as first-authored publications, funded grants, honors, and conference speaker invitations. Finally we make recommendations for the whole oceanographic community to continue to work together to create a culture where oceanographers of all genders can thrive, including eliminating harassment, reexamining selection and evaluation procedures, and removing structural inequities.

海洋学中的性别平等


性别平等，让所有性别的人充分参与海洋学工作人员队伍，是海洋学事业持续成功的一个重要目标。在这里，我们描述了历史上阻碍性别平等的障碍；通过审查参与、成就和认可的定量衡量标准，评估海洋学领域性别平等的最新进展和现状；并审查改善性别平等的活动。我们发现，在世界许多地方，女性获得了大约一半的海洋学博士学位，并且在早期学术就业阶段，女性的比例正在不断提高。然而，需要在性别平等方面继续取得进展，这反映在第一作者出版物、资助经费、荣誉和会议演讲者邀请等指标上。最后，我们建议整个海洋学界继续共同努力，创造一种让所有性别的海洋学家都能蓬勃发展的文化，包括消除骚扰、重新审查选择和评估程序以及消除结构性不平等。
