Notes

  1. It should be stressed, however, that there is no single widely accepted definition of geoethics. See detailed discussion on the concept of “geoethics” in Martínez-Frías et al. (2011), Ferrero et al. (2012), and Peppoloni and Di Capua (2012) and reference therein. The major research challenges of geoethics are defined by Max Wyss & Silvia Peppoloni (see the contribution by Wyss and Peppoloni 2015).

  2. Gigantic growth in population.

  3. A free digital version available online to the geoethical community.
