Geoethics and Geosciences Serving Society

This book explores diverse perspectives and practices in geoethics, offering a comprehensive overview of how ethical considerations are being integrated into the geosciences across disciplines and regions. It draws from the session “Geoethics at the Heart of All Geoscience: Serving the Public Good” held at the 37th International Geological Congress (IGC) in Busan, Republic of Korea.

At the core of the discussion is geoethics - an integrated ethical framework for the geosciences. It provides geoscientists with guidance for responsible action in the face of complex global and societal challenges. By embracing their individual and collective responsibilities, geoscientists can play a key role in advancing human well-being and promoting the public good, while reshaping humanity’s relationship with the Earth system.

Contributors to this volume share insights and expertise, outline methodologies and strategies, raise critical questions, propose best practices, and present case studies that address the ethical, social, and cultural dimensions of geoscience. This diversity ensures a pluralistic, interdisciplinary approach that fosters dialogue and collaboration.

Chapters are structured to build a coherent narrative, moving from foundational geoethical concepts to a wide range of applications, and culminating in the theme of diplomacy.

Intended for a broad audience - including geoscientists, scholars across disciplines, humanists, social scientists, students, professionals, policymakers, journalists, and engaged citizens - this book invites reflection and action at the intersection of science, ethics, and society.
