TY  - JOUR
AB  - <jats:p>&lt;p&gt;Geochemistry is applied across Earth, environmental and planetary geoscience research. Yet, the first specific workforce diversity data for geochemistry is only now being collected (e.g. EAG-GS led 2022 Global Geochemistry Community Survey). Additionally, national effort is underway to scrutinise detailed and intersectional diversity data (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconmic background, career path) for UK geochemists via &amp;#8216;Evaluating Diversity and Inclusion within the (geochemistry) Academic Ladder (E-DIAL)&amp;#8217;, a project funded by the UK&amp;#8217;s Natural Environmental Research Council. This project will also collect data to evidence workplace structures and policies specific to the UK&amp;#8217;s geochemists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We will present key findings linked to the geochemistry workforce, including laboratory support staff, from among our survey results to provide a snapshot of the demographics and intersectional representation among the UK geochemistry community within Higher Education Institutes (HEIs). An important facet of this work is our focus on how the allocation, accessibility, and support of geochemistry laboratories are distributed and experienced by all members of the UK community. Furthermore, the study will report on salient aspects of COVID-19 generated impacts and inequities within the geochemistry community. We also present specific findings for experiences that capture evidence of some persisting barriers to individuals and/or geochemistry groups. These exclusionary hurdles include cultural and other obstacles for which we suggest remedies that will advance the representation and further the success of people of minoritised identities within and across the academic ladder.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We aim to use our project findings
