Webinar Description
As outdoor field professionals we have a responsibility to not only use appropriate scientific methodology, but also to behave as good stewards of the land upon which we work. As educators we also have a responsibility to teach others how to conduct themselves professionally. Ethical field study concerns all of the uses and values of the lands, not only their value as a geoscience field laboratory. As a society, these land use values shift over time and so our perceptions and expectations of what is acceptable practice in the field must also shift. We must continually challenge our thinking and our behavior both as individuals and as a profession in order to maintain the highest standards of integrity possible. In short, every geoscientist in the field needs to continually evaluate how they are representing themselves and their work. People are watching, so we need to lead by example.
