A Boston University professor has been accused of sexually harassing 2 female researchers on Antarctic expeditions

The Boston Globe reports:

Boston University is investigating allegations that one of its professors — a prominent geologist — sexually harassed two of his graduate students on field expeditions to Antarctica almost two decades ago.

The two women who have filed Title IX complaints with the university allege that during separate research trips in the late 1990s David Marchant, who’s listed as the director for the university’s Antarctic Research Group, sexually harassed them and repeatedly called them misogynistic slurs. Other allegations include that he repeatedly shoved one of the women down a slope and threw rocks at her when she tried to go to the bathroom in the field.

The allegations were first reported earlier this month by Science. The publication reported that documents associated with BU’s investigation indicate Marchant denies the accusations.
