Welcome to the Journal of Geoethics and Social Geosciences

2022-03-22

This new international journal has been created to meet the growing demand for spaces dedicated to discussing issues in geoethics and social geosciences, areas that are increasingly seen as crucial for the coming years. Unique in its focus, the journal seeks to reestablish the role of geosciences as key disciplines in addressing urgent global challenges. It aims to foster multidisciplinary dialogue between scientific and humanistic communities to provide a comprehensive and integrated perspective on issues of planetary significance. The journal represents both the culmination of years of work on geoethical themes and a starting point for establishing geoethics as a global ethics oriented toward the Earth system.

Vol. 2 No. Special Issue (2025): 25 Years of Advancing Geoethics and Social Geosciences at INGV

Editors: Silvia Peppoloni and Giuseppe Di Capua 

Description: Over the past 25 years, the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV; National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology), Italy, has played a leading role in promoting geoethics, exploring the ethical, social, and cultural dimensions of both theoretical and applied geosciences. In this context, the Journal of Geoethics and Social Geosciences was established as a diamond open-access journal and has the goal to become a key reference for publications addressing critical issues of our time. Geoethics and social geosciences encompass the ethical and social challenges at the intersection of geosciences and various sectors of society, including politics, media, education at all levels, institutional settings, and individual citizens. This special volume presents a selection of articles showcasing the theoretical and practical advancements developed within INGV on foundational topics, including risk mitigation strategies, the ethics of data management, tools for geoscience education and communication, and gender equality.
