We are pleased to announce the establishment of IAPG-New Zealand. This is the 36th national section of the International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG).
IAPG-New Zealand is also recognized as the Geoethics Special Interest Group within the Geoscience Society of New Zealand (GSNZ).
This section will be chaired by Dr. Matthew Hughes (photo on the side). He is geoscientist based in the Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. His research interests cover economic geology, landscape evolution, and the interplay between communities and natural and engineered systems. He conducts multidisciplinary research investigating how communities are impacted by and in turn influence the development of infrastructure, impacts of hazards on infrastructure and communities, and how long-term climate and landscape evolution processes will impact cultural heritage, settlements and infrastructure into the Anthropocene.
GSNZ Geoethics Special Interest Group (IAPG-New Zealand)
Members of the just-established Geoethics Special Interest Group within the Geoscience Society of New Zealand have a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, but all share interest in research and reflection on values underpinning behaviours and practices wherever human activities interact with the Earth system. This is especially pertinent in geological resource use, post-disaster response, geoheritage issues, and engaging with communities including Indigenous peoples. The Geoethics Special Interest Group exists to build a community of practice within research and teaching, to explore and promote Geoethical principles.
