| David Crookall |
David Crookall, PhD, FRSA, has worked all his life in the experiential learning dimensions of geosciences. He is interested in the ethical dimensions of the geosciences, especially when referring to climate change, environmental pollution, geo-resources, sustainability, fishing, oceans. During his time in the USA, he obtained a large grant from the prestigious Fund for Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), a Federal Agency supporting innovative projects. During his (26-year) editorship of the world's foremost journal on education simulation/gaming, David's editorial policy emphasized (a) debriefing (the source of learning from experience) and (b) ethical issues related to the environment. He shepherded and edited several important symposium issues, including one on natural resource management using simulation and agent-based modeling and one on climate change and simulation. David has also served and continues to serve on various academic journal boards. David is a member of a number of organizations, including: UCA Union for Concerned Scientists, AGU American Geophysical Union, GfGD Geology for Global Development, IGEO International Geoscience Education Organisation, EGU European Geosciences Union, ISAGA International Simulation and Gaming Association; he has been a member of the IAPG International Association for Promoting Geoethics since 2015. After working in various universities in France, USA and Singapore, he has recently retired from the Université Côte d'Azur, but continues to fight for environmental justice, especially through learning and education - which he calls geo-edu-ethics.
