Abstract
This article builds on perspectives shared at a Town Hall held during the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting focused on valuable lessons learned after publicized incidents of unethical field sampling. We present ideas and recommendations that are applicable across all Earth science disciplines. The major recommendation centers on equally valuing Indigenous and Western perspectives and knowledges, with actions that include building relationships with Indigenous communities, teaching ethical sampling protocols in geoscience curricula, and broadly implementing sharable sample archives. Co-creating guidelines and practices with Indigenous partnership and expertise will ensure that equity is essential to geoethics and that geoscience is for society.
