A Survey of Ethics Content in College-Level Remote Sensing Courses in the United States
Wetherholt, William A.; Rundquist, Bradley C.
Journal of Geography, v109 n2 p75-86 2010
Easier access to submeter imagery has fueled debates over ethical uses of remote sensing. Some have called for ethics instruction to counter undesired uses of the technology. Here, this article reports the results of a survey examining attitudes related to teaching ethics in remote sensing. It was found that 52 percent of respondents teaching remote sensing include ethical use discussions. Agreement on the importance of ethics instruction is statistically associated with the year the instructor received their degree, the highest degree awarded by their department, the number of remote sensing courses offered at their institution, and their prior exposure to ethical debates in remote sensing. (Contains 9 tables.)
