Geoethics at the XVI CGCh
THE CALL FOR ABSTRACT IS OPEN (deadline: 31 May 2023)
XVI Chilean Geological Congress "New challenges for an evolving territory”
Thematic Area 6 (AT6): Geosciences and Society
Session AT6-6 Geoethics: Experiences and case studies in Chile
Conveners: Luisa Pinto Lincoñir, Hernán Bobadilla Rodríguez
Description:
The role of geoethics is to investigate and reflect upon the values and principles that support appropriate human interactions with the earth system. Geoethics is multidisciplinary and its field of analysis and action is defined by the need to identify common values based on geoscientific knowledge, which is essential to recognize our role in the sustainability of the human-Earth system. There are 4 domains of interaction: individual, interpersonal, social and environmental. These domains involve different degrees of responsibility and a series of values for the achievement of ethical actions to achieve the ideals of justice, consciousness, and respect for the Earth (https:/ /www.geoethics.org).
This session welcomes contributions that highlight geoethical issues in terms of values and principles in: (1) Dilemmas within the individual and/or interpersonal spheres of scientific and professional work; (2) Successful or unsuccessful cases, projects, studies, and activities with social or environmental impact in Chile (e.g., education, outreach, geoheritage, and geological risk management). Contributions accepted for this session will have the possibility of being included in the edition of a book on geoethics cases in Chile. This session is sponsored by the International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG).
Silvia Peppoloni (IAPG Secretary General and Chair of the IUGS Commission on Geoethics) and Giuseppe Di Capua (IAPG Treasurer and Treasurer of the IUGS Commission on Geoethics) gives plenary lectures in the theme AT6 Geosciences and Society

Geoethics at the 6th WLF
THE CALL FOR ABSTRACT IS OPEN (deadline: 28 February 2023)
6th World Landslide Forum "Landslide Science for Sustainable Development"
Theme 1 - Session 1.5
Ethical, social and cultural aspects/implications in landslide risk management
Conveners: Peter T. Bobrowsky, Irasema Alcántara-Ayala, Giuseppe Di Capua, Claudio Margottini, Silvia Peppoloni
Session description:
The science and practice of landslide research primarily aims to better understand the nature, distribution, and behavior of all types of landslides under a broad range of conditions and across the widest spectra of environments. Landslide research further aims to use this understanding to ensure that the health and well-being of individuals, communities, societies and the related socio-cultural structure, such as critical infrastructure, is secure through disaster risk management, including education, preparedness and best practices deployed in a timely and professional manner. By definition, landslide related studies are often subject to many factors that can negatively influence the impartiality, transparency, inclusivity, and standards of conduct of individuals. Today more than ever before, landslide researchers need to critically evaluate all stages of their work from site selection, project goals, participation, output dissemination, quality control, data sharing, authorship, accountability, and other issues based on a foundation of ethical values and practice. This session provides an opportunity to present and discuss a suite of topics, case studies and strategies that are germane to ethical landslide research. We encourage practitioners to submit contributions related to landslide ethics as examples include conflicts of interest, gender/ageism biases, questionable peer reviewing, breaches of standards, work safety avoidance, developed country favoritism, information hoarding, rumor impacts, social media abuse, limiting education, and respecting privacy are but a few examples of the many ethical issues that can impede the positive growth and progress in landslide studies.
This session is sponsored by the International Association for Promoting Geoethics – IAPG.

Joint congress of the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology (SIMP), the Italian Geological Society (SGI), the Italian Society of Geochemistry (SOGEI) and the Italian Association of Volcanology (AIV), entitled "The Geoscience paradigm: Resources, Risks and future perspectives".
Theme: Outreach and education
Session P51 "Exploring geoscience communication"
Conveners: Ortensia Amoroso, Rosa Coluzzi, Valeria Giampaolo, Vito Imbrenda, Silvia Peppoloni
Session description:
Against a backdrop of growing geo-environmental concerns, a crucial question for geoscientists is how best to communicate these issues to the wider public and, as a result, more effectively communicate their technical expertise to non-technical audiences. Furthermore, European and national funding programs encourage scientists to engage the public ever more imaginatively in their work, address their collective concerns, and even have them participate in the scientific process themselves. Nowadays, geoscientists are expected to communicate with a variety of audiences in ways that are appropriate for each group, including science users and decision makers, the larger scientific community, public organizations, and individual people.
The main goal of this session is to involve geoscientists to present, discuss and share best practices in effective geoscience communication. Traditional (storytelling, language, and visualisation), emergent digital communication strategies (citizens science, social network, apps, etc.), and unconventional ones (poetry, music, art, etc.) will be considered for education, policy, public awareness, and engagement. Great attention will be devoted to the activities carried out by younger geoscientists. Contributions will be evaluated for a special issue of the Journal of Geoethics and Social Geosciences.

150th PGLA (BGR) Anniversary and 175th DGGV Anniversary
Session 4.12) "Geoethics – fostering ethical perspectives in the Geosciences"
Conveners: Dominic Hildebrandt, Martin Bohle, Bárbara Zambelli
Session supported by the IAPG
Keynote speaker: Dr. Angélica de Freitas, Belo Horizonte MG, Brazil
“Geoethics and Transgenerational Climate Crimes - holding States and corporations accountable”
Session description: The potential for the Geosciences to make meaningful contributions to great societal issues is immense. Yet, this also implies huge internal challenges for the Geoscience community itself. Geoethics helps to guide these efforts as a conceptual framework dealing with ethical aspects of Geoscience activities. As an expression of critical thinking and taking responsibility Geoethics is fundamental to all kinds of Geoscience subdisciplines, although it may rise different implications depending on the specific context. Often these are intimately linked to peculiarities of our discipline, e.g. its historically male-dominated character, the image of geoscientists in the public as well as a strong focus on field work. These factors may become a barrier for geoscientists' ability to answer societally relevant problems. Therefore, with this session we aim to provide a dynamic environment for discussions and works featuring a critical analysis of 1) geoscience history and its implications, 2) intra-scientific issues such as inequalities and discriminations of all kinds, 3) working methods and their implications for the environment, research objects and local communities, 4) geosciences at the interface with society, politics and other stakeholders as well as 5) geo-communication and geo-education.

Session
Geoethics to responsibly manage local and global challenges of our times
Conveners: Silvia Peppoloni, Peter T. Bobrowsky, John Ludden, Sandra Villacorta Chambi
Session co-organized by: IAPG and IUGS.
Session description: Geoscience knowledge and expertise are essential to address a wide range of the most pressing social-environmental concerns, inform decision-making, and guide education at all levels. All branches of geosciences have cultural, social and ethical implications. Hence, geoscientists face ethical issues in their professional and civic roles. Geoscientists are becoming increasingly aware of their ethical responsibilities to serve society and foster public trust in geosciences. Geoethics aims to provide a common framework to responsibly manage questions such as geo-resources, geological risks, pollution, geoheritage, as well as geoscience-society-policy interaction and relationships with Indigenous communities. This session aims to nourish the discussion on appropriate behaviours and practices, also through case-studies, wherever human activities interact with the Earth system.
This session is included in the theme: Critical role of geoscience in Australia's future.

Cologne (Germany)
Session 10.2 "Geoethics – fostering ethical perspectives in Geosciences"
Conveners: Dominic Hildebrandt (IAPG-Germany co-coordinator), Simon Schneider (IAPG-Germany co-coordinator), Martin Bohle (IAPG Board of Experts)
Session description: Geoethics is a dynamically evolving concept framing various kinds of ethical aspects of Geoscience activities. As an expression of critical thinking and taking responsibility, Geoethics is fundamental to all kinds of Geoscience subdisciplines, however raising different types of questions and problems depending on the specific context. Many of these are intimately linked to specialties of our discipline, e.g. its historically male-dominated character as well as a strong focus on field work. With this session we aim to provide a platform for current works featuring critical analysis of 1) geoscience history and its implications, 2) intra-scientific issues such as gender inequalities or racism, 3) working methods and their implications for the environment, research objects and local communities, 4) geoscientists' work at the interface to society, politics and other stakeholders including geocommunication and geoeducation. We encourage you to submit your work to our session even if your specific topic is not covered above, but has a geoethical dimension.
