摘要

Earth remote sensing (ERS)-the science and craft of interpreting images of the terrestrial surfacerncollected at high altitude by aircraft or satellite-is unquestionably a premier source of current knowledgernabout our environment, and offers vast possibilities for improving environmental stewardship, whether byrnstate agencies, corporations, or civil society. However, it has also been critiqued as a tool that can toorneasily shape knowledge according to dominant interests, bringing into question recent experimentationrnwith ERS by advocacy groups and activists. This essay considers the claim that ERS is in danger ofrnsuffering from an "imagery credibility paradox," allegedly a result of the recent influx of inexperiencedrn"imagery activists" whose unorthodox priorities threaten to destabilize public confidence in ERS imageryrnas a source of knowledge. I explore the rhetorical dichotomization of the ERS community into "traditional”rnand "new" users, reframing the imagery credibility paradox as an attempt 1) to democratize a previouslyrnexclusive technology, and 2) to renegotiate the terms of credibility and expert authority. In this effort Irnsupport an argument for "imagery activists" as vital contributors to a more appropriate use of " geospatialrnmedia" and to a needed discussion on the ethical use of such media.
