Geoscience Education and Public Communication
The geosciences permeate our daily lives mainly because of global challenges such as geohazard mitigation, climate change and the depletion of resources. The importance of the Earth System can no longer be ignored, and, to this end, geoscience education and public awareness have become an important endeavour. This theme explores the trends in education and their implications for the future of the planet.
