[U-14] Raising the profile and impact of community engagement in geoscience
Fri. May 31, 2024 1:45 PM - 3:15 PM Exhibition Hall Special Setting (1) (Exhibition Hall 6, Makuhari Messe)
Chairperson:Vincent Tong(Northumbria University), Yuichi S. Hayakawa(Faculty of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University), Wonsuh SONG(Waseda University), Michiyo SHIMAMURA(Nagoya University)
Geoscience is a distinctly cross-disciplinary area of research and education. To address the grand challenges that humanity is facing, geoscientists work across disciplinary boundaries and forge new links to connect natural and social sciences. Community engagement has become an integral component of these efforts, as it plays an important role in maximizing the social impact of transdisciplinary research and in creating new opportunities in education at all levels. In this session, we examine the challenges, opportunities, and innovation in relation to raising the profile and furthering the impact of outreach and knowledge co-creation activities involving geoscientists. Our focus is on understanding the latest trends in community engagement and community/citizen science in different cultural contexts. We showcase innovation from across a range of sub-disciplines in geosciences and related fields of study such as archaeology. We will also highlight the recent developments in participatory research and engagement involving underrepresented and underprivileged groups.
