T9. Raising awareness on geodiversity: a must for the geoscientist

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

The concept of geodiversity is underpinning equilibrium of natural systems, and is a topic increasingly known. Geodiversity is important for reconstructing Earth history and the evolution of life on our planet, for this reason is needed to preserve and promote it.
An effort from all members of the civil society is required to foster knowledge about geodiversity, and to integrate principles and methods of nature conservation into the management of geoheritage. To achieve this progress, increased awareness and a greater effort by the communities of geoscientists, geologists and geology enthusiasts are needed.
This session welcomes inputs related to geoconservation within and outside protected areas, such as the development and dissemination of methods for the assessment of geodiversity, application of geoheritage inventories in territorial planning, examples of "good practices".
 
CONVENERS: Elisa Brustia (Dipartimento per il Servizio Geologico d'Italia, ISPRA), Nereo Preto (Università di Padova), Elio Lippolis (Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro), Guillem Mateu Vicens (University of the Balearic Islands), Vitantonio Venezia (Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro)
