The geoscience community has a responsibility to promote an ethical, diverse, inclusive, and just culture across and within the Earth system sciences. We can and must make thoughtful, meaningful changes in what and who is valued within the sciences: who participates in the sciences, how science is undertaken and communicated, what resources and programs are created, the opportunities for advancement, who is credited for knowledge production, and equitable inclusion of cultures and perspectives beyond Western scientific thought. This research aims to identify and share recommended practices, and foster partnerships towards creating inclusive practices, resources, and outreach events suitable for people historically underrepresented in the Earth sciences. We invited perceptions on experiences, research, ideas, and solutions on topics such as building equitable partnerships across organizations and borders to reduce barriers, decolonizing geoscience curriculum, increasing equity and access within geoscience and science communication, ensuring inclusion and acknowledgement of traditional and local knowledge, and other topics centered around justice and equity in science.  The research is housed within the federally-funded SilvaCarbon program, which is a capacity building component of the Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI), a flagship of the Group on Earth Observations, (GEO).
