AGU Fall 2013 Session: ED023. Global Partnerships in Geoheritage and Improved Earth Science Literacy
The following session is proposed at the American Geophysical
Union Fall meeting, December 2013 at San Francisco.
We look forward to receiving you abstracts and are available to
provide additional information.
The Session will be followed by an evening discussion at a
local watering hole.
ED023. Global Partnerships in Geoheritage and Improved Earth Science Literacy
Description:
This session explores how geologic heritage programs benefit
society through improved local economies, enhancement of earth
science concepts and improved earth science literacy for the
general public.
We focus on bring together a broad range of actors, from
different areas (both public and private) with scientists, to
see how all can be included in the decision making process.
We open an international dialogue on geoheritage partnerships
and share best practices for implementation of geosites such as:
inventorying, characterization and assessment, and conservation
and protection measures for significant geological features and
landscapes.
We solicit examples and case studies of global geoheritage
programs, such as world heritage sites, geoparks and geotourism,
and programs highlighting the tremendous educational resource
offered by said sites around the world.
