Question: Women in geology concerns the history and contributions of which term to denote a female human being, to the field of geology?
Context: Geomedical engineering is a discipline that applies the engineering practice to medical geology issues for the purpose of preventing medical geology risks to human and animal health.  Geomedical engineering deals with the engineering principles and techniques to prevent or reduce the impacts of geological, geochemical and geoenvironmental factors on human and animal health.  The term "geomedical engineering" was coined by Pakistani geologist Dr. Atteeq-Ur-Rehman in 2009 in his paper titled ""Geomedical Engineering: A new and captivating prospect"." Women in geology concerns the history and contributions of women to the field of geology.  There has been a long history of women in the field, but they have tended to be under-represented.  In the era before the eighteenth century, science and geological science had not been as formalized as they would become later.  Hence early geologists tended to be informal observers and collectors, whether they were male or female.  Notable examples of this period include Hildegard of Bingen who wrote works concerning stones and Barbara Uthmann who supervised her husband's mining operations after his death.  Mrs. Uthmann was also a relative of Georg Agricola.  In addition to these names varied aristocratic women had scientific collections of rocks or minerals. S.M. Naqvi Gold Medal was instituted in 2013 by the Geological Society of India in the name of the late Syed Mahmood Naqvi, an outstanding scientist who contributed extensively in the field of Precambrian Geology.  He was associated with the Society in various capacities till his death in September 2009.  The S.M Naqvi Gold Medal will be awarded every two years to a scientist below the age of 60 years for outstanding contributions in any field of Indian Geology. Dollie Radler Hall (1898 – 15 May 1995) was one of the first female geologists in Oklahoma.  In 1921, she earned her master's degree from the University of Oklahoma in the field of Geology.  Dollie was married to Charlie Hall, her childhood sweetheart.  Though she faced professional exclusion as one of the only female geologists in her field, she followed through in pursuing Geology as her field of study. The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Mars.  It emphasizes the composition, structure, history, and physical processes that shape the planet.  It is analogous to the field of terrestrial geology.  In planetary science, the term "geology" is used in its broadest sense to mean the study of the solid parts of planets and moons.  The term incorporates aspects of geophysics, geochemistry, mineralogy, geodesy, and cartography.  A neologism, areology, from the Greek word "Arēs" (Mars), sometimes appears as a synonym for Mars's geology in the popular media and works of science fiction (e.g. Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy), but the term is rarely, if ever, used by professional geologists and planetary scientists. Daniel Francis Merriam (2 February 1927 – 26 April 2017) was an American geologist best known for fostering the development of quantitative modeling in geology after the advent of digital computers.  He first joined the Kansas Geological Survey in 1953, initially working under the direction Raymond C. Moore to have a more accurate knowledge about the geology of the state.  His fascination with the new possibilities offered by computers started ten years later while working with John W. Harbaugh at Stanford University as Visiting Research Scientist.  In the following seven years, he was active organizing colloquia and as editor of the Computer Contributions, who saw 50 publications in the series by pioneers in the new field.  Merriam accepted the position of Chairman of the Department of Geology at Syracuse University in 1971 and moved to the same position at Wichita State University in 1981, coming back to the Kansas Geological Survey in 1991 to retire in 1997, remaining as an Emeritus Scientist. Catherine Alice Raisin (24 April 1855 – 13 July 1945) was one of the most important early female geologist in Britain whose research was primarily in the field of microscopic petrology and mineralogy.  She was the head of the geology department at Bedford College for Women in Bedfordshire, England for 30 years, and strived for women equality in education.  Raisin was the first woman in Britain to be an academic head of any geology department.  She was also the head of the botany department at the Bedford College for Women. A woman is a female human being.  The term "woman" is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent.  The term "woman" is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights".  Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause.  With regard to gender, a woman may also be a person whose sex does not align with their gender identity, or those who have sexual characteristics that do not fit typical notions of male or female (intersex). The G. K. Gilbert Award is presented annually by the Planetary Geology Division of the Geological Society of America for outstanding contributions to the solution of fundamental problems in planetary geology in the broadest sense, which includes geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, geophysics, geologic mapping, and remote sensing.  Such contributions may consist either of a single outstanding publication or a series of publications that have had great influence in the field.  The award is named for the pioneering geologist G. K. Gilbert. Florence Bascom (July 14, 1862 – June 18, 1945) was the second woman to earn her Ph.D in geology in the United States, and the first woman hired by the United States Geological Survey.  Apart from being one of the first women to earn a master's degree in geology, she was known for her innovative findings in this field.  She led the next generation of notable female geologists.
