La Geoestetica: l’intelligenza estetica della terra. La natura in noi anche in un libro di Salgado
Questo articolo è stato pubblicato nel magazine ReWriters:

| Silvia Peppoloni |
Oggi, scolpite come opere d’arte dagli agenti meteorici, troneggiano con picchi e creste affilate in mezzo a valli dolci e svasate.
Dall’altra parte del globo terrestre, l’imponente catena montuosa delle Ande, disseminata di apparati vulcanici, ha un’origine legata alla subduzione della crosta oceanica pacifica al di sotto del continente sudamericano. Lembi di fondale oceanico si immergono ad enormi profondità, fondono per le elevate pressioni e temperature, e una volta trasformati in magma fluido per la minore densità risalgono in superficie, creando la materia su cui gli agenti meteorici scolpiscono e modellano il rilievo, con risultati di straordinaria bellezza.
La geologia è essenzialmente studio di come la pressione agisce nel tempo, plasmando la materia e configurando lo spazio. .....

"Geoethics in the Geosciences"
An international survey by the IAPG
The online questionnarie "Geoethics in the Geosciences" is the tool for investigating this perception and awareness in this international survey conducted by the IAPG.
Everyone can fill in the questionnaire anonymously, since its structure allows compilers to fill in it as individuals in the performance of their institutional/professional activities, without implying personal data or information related to their private life.
The questionnaire can fill in at:
https://form.jotformeu.com/93223788145362
This questionnaire will be disseminated within the international geoscience community, also through the help of the geoscience partner organizations of the IAPG.
Everyone is invited to fill in the questionnaire. Help us in this international survey. Share the link to fill in the questionnaire with your colleagues.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Additional information about the Questionnaire "Geoethics in the Geosciences"
Authors of the questionnaire
Silvia Peppoloni and Giuseppe Di Capua
Objectives
The goal of this questionnaire is to understand how much the geoscience community is aware of the importance of the ethical and social aspects of geoscience research and practice.
The feedback received will help IAPG select priorities in its strategy of promoting geoethics.
Topics
The questionnaire covers the following topics:
- Research integrity and professionalism in conducting geoscience activities.
- Respect towards colleagues and appropriate behaviours in the working environment.
- Conflicts of interest.
- Awareness of geoscientists' responsibilities towards society in the dissemination of scientific results, in geoscience communication and geo-education activities.
- Roles and responsibilities of geoscientists in the decision-making process.
- Relationship between the geoscience community and stakeholders.
- Responsibilities of geoscientists towards the Earth system.
Comments
We address this questionnaire to all members of the geoscience community, and are promoting it through the web channels of the IAPG and partner organisations, to assure wide international participation.
You can fill in the questionnaire anonymously. We aimed it at people in the performance of their institutional/professional activities, without implying personal data or information related to their private life.
People filling in the questionnaire act on a voluntary basis. This questionnaire does not contain any reference to political, religious or racial topics.

Geoscientists as social and political actors
by Silvia Peppoloni
(IAPG Secretary General)
Keynote at the Union Symposium 1 (US1)
EGU 2020: Sharing Geoscience Online
4 May 2020 (16:15-17:45 CEST)
Open to anyone and free of charge
Co-sponsored by
EGU, AGI, AGU, AOGS, GSA, GSL, JpGU
Convenership: Alberto Montanari, Robin Bell, Hodaka Kawahata, J. Douglas Walker. The other confirmed speakers are: Jonathan Bamber, Chris McEntee, Claudia Jesus-Rydin, Jorge A. Huete-Perez.
The title of Silvia’s talk is “Geoscientists as social and political actors”.
Here her abstract:
Geoscientists are at the fare front of informing on and supporting society to face global anthropogenic changes, at all levels. This requires making excellent science, in the full awareness of one's role towards society. Research integrity and professionalism are the bedrock on which the individual geoscientist can develop a deep sense of responsibility and build a functional science-society relationship, being conscious of the ethical obligations that this implies. It is precisely within the dyad individual-society that the utmost ethical and social value of the activity of geoscientists is achieved, as in this context they assume at the same time the dual role of moral subjects and social actors, and consequently can realize the meaning of being active and responsible subjects in the service of the human beings. In order to achieve this goal, each geoscientist should individually strengthen the perception of being: (a) a moral subject, therefore an agent consciously responsible for the own conduct and the ethical and social implications of own actions; (b) a social and political subject, who actively contributes to the construction of the idea of society, to the vision of its future, to its cultural and economic development, including the creation of a knowledge society based on the democratic value of shared responsibility. Within the ethical framework of reference in which geoscientists are called to act, there is an indispensable prerequisite, that makes possible the responsible action and allows behaving ethically: individual freedom. A cohesive, motivated, and responsible international geoscience community can assure a safe operating space to geoscientists and encourage them to follow best practices and ethical behaviours while conducting their activities, to qualify their work and recognize the value of a responsible action to counter abuses, intimidations and political pressures. This cannot simply be entrusted to codes of ethics and/or conduct, but demands an intense ethical training for the geoscientists, that shows them the numerous circumstances and difficulties that each one might be called upon to face during the scientific and professional career.
