    Description: The themes addressed by geoethics are becoming central to all scientific debate. A growing number of scientists now consider geoethics as an effective tool to increase, in the scientific community and society as a whole, the awareness of local and global environmental problems that humanity faces. Geoethics deals with ethical, social and cultural aspects related to geosciences. Geoethics addresses fundamental issues such as the prudent and sustainable use of geo-resources, management of natural hazards, defence of geoheritage as a common value to be protected and enhanced. But above all, geoethics aims to raise, in the community of geoscientists, their awareness of responsibilities in conducting scientific and professional activity. In order to extend this awareness to the whole of civil society and also to foster the recognition of the usefulness of geosciences in daily life, geoscience communication should be recognized as a fundamental activity connected with scientific and professional work, since geoscience knowledge is a tool to contribute to the construction of social knowledge for human communities. But today what is the role played by geosciences in the scientific mass culture? Are the geosciences part of a collective “cultural heritage”? Do the publishing world and media offer adequate space to geosciences? Through the analysis of two Italian case studies, the authors highlight the critical features of the relationship between geoscientists and the media and try to suggest some actions that are useful to make the relationship between these two separate fields more functional, with the goal of bringing citizens closer to geosciences and increasing the awareness of the individual and collective responsibility towards the Earth.

    Description: The geosciences need practitioners who possess an ethical conscience and the desire to act responsibly. Ethically responsible geoscientists will achieve success and satisfaction by carrying out excellent research and professional activities, and by maintaining honest and open collaborations with colleagues. Such individuals will be able to contribute to building a resilient society, be better prepared to face global economic and environmental challenges and be willing to take concrete actions for the conservation of the geo‐environment. Geoethics provides ethical, social, and cultural values for the scientific community and for society as a whole. Geoethics represents a new vision of a world in which it is possible to maintain a more balanced relationship between humans and nature, considering modern economic and social development expectations. This chapter illustrates some aspects of geoethics, provides an overview of its basic values and themes, and highlights prominent global issues that involve geoethics, including climate change, geo‐risks, land management, exploitation of geo‐resources, and sustainability. The International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG) provides a multidisciplinary platform for discussion, a place where multidisciplinary collaboration can strengthen the development of geoethics from a scientific and philosophical perspective, in order to better introduce geoethical values into society.

    Description: Geoethics is an emerging and expanding field which is deepening its philosophical foundations and strengthening its interactions with other disciplines. Such expansion may be in tension with the need for geoethics to be a focused framework to support geoscientists in their work. There is also a risk of ‘geoethics’ being used as a catch-all term for reflection and research when considering human actions within the Earth system. The chapter reflects on how the scope of geoethics might be constrained. It suggests that geoethics might be framed as relating to the practices and values of any human agent as part of the Earth system, whereas the complementary notion of ‘geosophy’ could be used to refer to the broader considerations regarding human–Earth system interactions.

    Description: The Sicily Channel has been affected by extensional tectonic processes, since Late Miocene and mostly during the Pliocene which leaded to the development of a number of tectonic depressions (e.g. Pantelleria, Linosa and Malta troughs). These tectonic depressions have been interpreted as large and discrete pull-apart basins involving deep crustal levels that developed in front of the Africa-Eurasia collisional belt within a large dextral wrench zone. The Sicily Channel is a region with a potentially moderate seismic and volcanic hazard, due to the occurrence, in the recent past, of volcanic eruptions sometimes accompanied by significant seismic swarms (Mmax ≤ 5). In order to provide an improved picture of the seismic characteristics of the Sicily Channel, we compiled a seismic catalog by taking into account all information coming from available instrumental catalogues, reports and instrumental data recorded covering the period 1981-2017. Moreover, taking advantage of the availability of a set of continuous GNSS stations installed along the southern Sicilian on-shore, we propose an improved picture of the current crustal deformation pattern over the investigated area. To this aim, we collected and analyzed all available data coming from the permanent GNSS stations installed across the Sicily Channel as well as the southern Sicilian onshore, spanning the 1999-2018 time interval. In addition, based on our GNSS and seismological observations, we provide a preliminary evaluation of the seismic/geodetic deformation-rate ratio for the investigated area.

    Description: The recent development of the concept ‘geoethics’ is a response by geoscientists to shape deeper engagement with their professional responsibilities and the wider societal relevance of geosciences. This introductory chapter outlines the development of geoethics to date, as a ‘virtue ethics’ focusing primarily on the role of the geoscientist, describes its meaning and function in relation to neighbouring fields and explores how to situate geoethics in relation to a wider range of issues that require ethical consideration. The emerging field of geoethics has already touched on many topics. This chapter reflects on the significance of geoethics as an effective operational toolkit for geoscientists, asking whether this functional purpose may be weakened if the range of matters considered under the term ‘geoethics’ becomes too wide.

    Description: In public research organizations in Italy, communication and outreach, as well as research support services, are often left to women. Consequently, the role which female staff plays, becomes central in communication processes both inside and outside the organization. An increasing number of female researchers have to abandon terms like “il ricercatore” (the researcher, used in the masculine form of the noun) or “man/month” in everyday language without fear of being diminished because of the use of feminine, nor of being discriminated while considered feminists. They should instead use inclusive expressions, taking into account gender, hence communicating real images of science and scientists. On the other hand, administrative documents should address the whole personnel, and not only to the ubiquitous “il dipendente” (the employee, masculine noun) opposed to “lavoratrici madri” (“mother-workers”). There is a plenty of opportunities to convey images of science meaning that research is performed both by women and men, and that consequences are addressed to women and men: activities with schools, seminars, outreach events and exhibitions, institutional communication and social networks. The responsibilities of an inclusive communication are numerous; they invest institutions and bodies in charge with structural changes in the organizations as well as those people who every day interact with users and participants of knowledge processes. Training as well as a daily practice are necessary. The paper comments some communication experiences in earth sciences, in progress at the National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology of Italy – INGV.

    Description: L’attività presentata è parte del Progetto dal titolo “Feasibility of an absolute gravity network in central Italy: toward a multi-disciplinary approach to natural risk assessment”, finanziato dall’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) nell’ambito dei Progetti di Ricerca Libera finalizzati allo studio e al monitoraggio dei rischi naturali dell’Italia Centrale. Lo scopo del progetto è la realizzazione di una rete gravimetrica, assoluta e relativa, e di stazioni GPS a larga scala in Italia Centrale, nelle aree interessate dalla più recente attività sismica, e di gettare le basi per un approccio multidisciplinare alla valutazione del rischio naturale. La fattibilità del progetto è stata possibile per la disponibilità presso l’INGV di due gravimetri assoluti, uno da laboratorio (Micro-g LaCoste FG5#238) e uno da campagna (Micro-g LaCoste A10#39). La finalità principale del progetto è quella di rilevare, mediante l’occupazione di siti già esistenti sul territorio e misurati in passato, eventuali variazioni della gravità e di deformazioni del suolo occorse su lungo periodo. Dopo una ricerca sull’esistenza di vertici gravimetrici e GPS nel territorio, di interesse per il progetto, e a seguito di sopralluogo, sono stati selezionati 5 siti distribuiti tra Lazio e Abruzzo, come illustrato nella Fig.1. Figura 1: Distribuzione delle stazioni selezionate per misure gravimetriche e GPS in Centro Italia. Due vertici di misure relative (Terni e Popoli), appartenenti alla rete del rilievo gravimetrico condotto dall’ING nel 1954 (Morelli, 1955), sono stati collegati a due stazioni assolute instituite nell’ambito del presente progetto nella stessa area; la stazione assoluta di Sant’Angelo Romano è stata istituita nel 2005 nell’ambito di un Progetto di Ricerca INGV-DPC sui Colli Albani (Berrino et al., 2006; Riguzzi et al., 2007; D’Agostino et al., 2008); un sito per misure relative presso i laboratori superficiali dei Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) istituito nel 2010 nel corso di indagini svolte a seguito dell’evento sismico del 2009 e quando fu contemporaneamente realizzata anche una stazione assoluta nel centro della città di L’Aquila (Berrino et al., 2010); la stazione assoluta all’Aquila presso l’Università di Coppito è stata istituita nel corso del presente progetto in sostituzione di quella realizzata nel 2010 attualmente non occupabile. La prima campagna di misure è stata effettuata nella seconda metà di giugno 2018 durante la quale sono state effettuate: a) misure assolute dell’accelerazione di gravità, con il solo gravimetro FG5#238 per indisponibilità dell’A10#39; b) misure gravimetriche relative per i collegamenti tra i vari vertici assoluti e le rispettive stazioni satelliti relative, e per la misura del locale gradiente verticale della gravità nelle stazioni assolute; c) misure GPS e topografiche classiche per il posizionamento dei siti di misura e il riporto della quota, anche da capisaldi altimetrici dell’IGMI dove esistenti. Una seconda campagna di misura è stata svolta tra la fine di settembre e gli inizi di ottobre 2018 durante la quale sono state effettuate solo misure assolute di gravità, ma con entrambi i gravimetri disponibili, e ulteriori misure GPS e topografiche classiche. Nel corso della seconda campagna, data la possibilità dell’utilizzo del gravimetro assoluto da campagna, è stata anche effettuata la misura assoluta sul sito relativo dei LNGS superficiali. L’utilizzo congiunto dei due gravimetri permette la loro inter-comparazione, utile allo scopo di poter effettuare le misure assolute anche separatamente in qualsiasi altra eventuale occasione che comporta l’utilizzo di più strumenti. Il gravimetro FG5#238 è stato già più volte inter-comparato con il gravimetro di riferimento italiano (Jiang et al., 2012; Greco et al., 2015; Pálinkáš et al., 2017), che è il gravimetro Standar Primario IMGC-02 realizzato presso l’Istituto Nazionale per la Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM) di Torino; mentre per l’A10 è in fase di attuazione l’inter-comparazione direttamente presso i Laboratori dell’INRiM. L’inter-comparazione tra strumenti è, come ben noto, fondamentale per l’omogeneizzazione dei dati, e la procedura seguita rientra nelle indicazioni date nel 2014 dalla Consultive Committee for Mass and related quantities (CCM) della International Association of Geodesy (IAG) (CCM-IAG Strategy for Metrology in Absolute Gravimetry). Alcune delle stazioni assolute misurate nel presente progetto faranno parte della Rete Gravimetrica Italiana di Riferimento “G0”, che è in fase di progettazione e che sarà costituita da sole stazioni assolute della gravità opportunamente misurate e/o rimisurate. Sebbene i dati raccolti siano ancora in corso di analisi, i risultati ottenuti hanno permesso di evidenziare le variazioni di gravità e di quota occorse ai singoli vertici, sia con riferimento al periodo relativo all’istituzione di ciascun vertice (relativo o assoluto) che tra le due campagne; e in particolare, dall’analisi congiunta dei dati gravimetrici assoluti e relativi, è stato possibile confermare il bias di circa -14 mGal alla stazione di Potsdam, utilizzata come riferimento nella maggior parte dei rilievi gravimetrici condotti in Italia sin dagli anni ’50. Saranno presentati, discussi e analizzati i risultati preliminari ottenuti dalle indagini effettuate.
