International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG)
Regional Conference on Geomorphology

IAPG is partner of this event.

​Session TS22. GEOETHICS IN GEOMORPHOLOGY
(jointly organized by IAPG – International Association for Promoting Geoethics and IAG – International Association of Geomorphologists)

Chairpersons: Elizabeth Rovere (DraElizabethRovere@gmail.com), Andrea Coronato (andrea.coronato@gmail.com)

​Session description:
Geomorphology, as a discipline focused on the study of landscape processes and formation, has a direct impact on both the environment and human societies, and this was not always addressed from an ethical perspective, leading to sustainability and social justice challenges. This session aims to bring together all those interested in exploring the intersection of geomorphology and geoethics, discussing how scientific and technical decisions in the study of geographic landscapes should be informed by ethical principles that consider both environmental and social impacts. Furthermore, the session seeks to raise awareness about the ethical responsibility in geomorphological research and its application in decision-making that affects ecosystems and communities.
