Session NH9.8 - Geoethics and natural hazards: the role and responsibility of the geoscientists (CALL FOR ABSTRACTS)


European Geosciences Union 2013 - General Assembly (Vienna, 7-12 April 2013)
Convener: Silvia Peppoloni - Co-Conveners: Susan W. Kieffer, Janusz Wasowski, Ezzoura Errami, Elizabeth Silva, Meng Wang
We inform that after the EGU meeting, we will have the possibility of collecting and publishing the presented papers (both orals and posters) in a special volume, together with the papers presented in the other sessions belonging to the Theme "Natural Hazards and Society".
What is Geoethics?

Geoethics consists of the research and reflection on those values upon which to base appropriate behaviours and practices where human activities intersect the Geosphere.

Geoethics deals with the ethical, social and cultural implications of geological research and practice, providing a point of intersection for Geosciences, Sociology and Philosophy.

Geoethics represents an opportunity for Geoscientists to become more conscious of their social role and responsibilities in conducting their activity.

Geoethics is a tool to influence the awareness of society regarding problems related to geo-resources and geo-environment.
