Discovering A More Diverse Remote Sensing Discipline

Dear colleagues,

To celebrate the launch of the new Discoveries in Remote Sensing Section, we invite authors to submit to our feature paper special issue. Authors will demonstrate alignment with our action plan to promote diverse teams and authorships that are inclusive of many perspectives.

Articles may include, but are not limited to:

1. Innovative remote sensing applications, methods, technology, theory, discussions, and ethics that promote our common goal;
2. Transdisciplinary collaborations in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Sendai Framework;
3. Collaborative research that includes local and/or indigenous peoples as an alternative to 'parachute' studies;
4. Frameworks for more inclusive approaches in remote sensing research;
5. Critical reviews on the benefits of diverse and inclusive approaches, and how this can be better incorporated into our discipline; and
6. Education and leadership in remote sensing.
