Equitable exchange: A framework for diversity and inclusion in the geosciences

We highlight a mechanism for the coproduction of research with local communities as a means of elevating the social relevance of the geosciences, increasing the potential for broader and more diverse participation. We outline the concept of an "Equitable Exchange" as an ethical framework guiding these interactions. This principled research model emphasizes that "currencies"—the rewards and value from participating in research—may differ between local communities and geoscientists. For those engaged in this work, an Equitable Exchange emboldens boundary spanning geoscientists to bring their whole selves to the work, providing a means for inclusive climates and rewarding cultural competency.
