This is a very neat week, because it is the week between National Science Day and International Women's Day. We'll be celebrating women in science all week, culminating in a brand-new Pioneering Women in the Geosciences post. Super!
I figured now would be the perfect time to start a list of women currently active in the geoblogosphere. I put out the word on Twitter and G+, and got lots of responses, but I'll bet you I've missed any number of awesome women who write about the earth sciences. If you know someone who should be on the list, please drop me a comment with link to their blog! If you have trouble commenting here, you can leave a comment on this post at En Tequila Es Verdad, or catch me on Twitter.
