\begin{abstract}
We examined data from the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the world's
largest earth and space science society, to characterize cohort
demographics of multiple milestones in a biogeoscientists' career.
Geoscientists of color and White women make up a smaller proportion of
those participating in activities critical to transitioning from student
to professional (submitting manuscripts, getting published, and being
asked to review) in comparison to White men. However, gender parity for
biogeoscientists appears within reach at earlier career stages, with
37\% AGU Biogeosciences members and 41\% of Biogeosciences attendees at
the Fall Meeting identifying as women in 2020. Unfortunately, data is
lacking to make the same assessment for geoscientists of color. A large
proportion of manuscripts are submitted by men (73\%), many of which
have no co-authors that identify as women or non-binary geoscientists,
which likely points to inequitable resources and a greater service
burden for scientists from historically excluded groups. Further, our
communities' bias of who we suggest as reviewers results in 85\% of the
reviewer invites going to White geoscientists and 63\% going to men.
Thus, while representation of diverse communities has improved in some
areas, barriers to publishing results in journals not reflecting
society: 25\% and 22\% of manuscripts were led by or included non-White
geoscientists, respectively, and fewer than 5\% and 7\% were led by or
included non-White, women geoscientists, respectively. Therefore, in
sectors like academia where publishing remains critical for advancement,
this process represents a significant obstacle for biogeoscientists not
already part of the majority.%
