Description:
At present, less than 30% of all researchers worldwide are women and similar ratios are seen in the remote sensing community, particularly in the US. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. To change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. This series of sessions, which originated from a Frontier in Remote Sensing special session, offers such a platform to promote the work of women researchers, scientists, engineers, and specialists across all fields of study related to Remote Sensing. The work presented in these sessions aims to highlight the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of remote sensing research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. Topics covered in these sessions include, but are not limited to, time series remote sensing, UAS, multi- and hyperspectral imaging, and LiDAR sensing. We encourage presentations from students and faculty alike as we look to develop a diverse and supportive community of women in remote sensing.
