Geoethics examines the ethics of human and Earth interactions. Topics range from planetary-scale modifications for stopping human-caused climate change through to creating local micropollution for improving livelihoods. All subjects also apply to human interests away from the Earth, including spaceships, space stations, other planets, moons, and stars.

This session will be a discussion of Te Tiriti compliance in geological sampling and recognising data as a Taonga, something to be treated with care and respect.

The aim of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) is to establish a coordinated approach, where appropriate, to promote initiatives and events that address the ethical, social, and cultural implications of geosciences, and to uphold high ethical standards in geoscience research and practice, in order to better serve both the geoscience community and society at large.
