Geoethics

Geoethics is the branch of ethics which relates to the interaction of human activity with our physical world in general, and with the practice of the Earth sciences in particular.[1][2][3][4] It may also have relevance to planetary sciences.[5] There are two international geoethics organizations, the International Association for Promoting Geoethics[6] and the International Association for Geoethics.[5]
