Talk abstract: Today, earth science is experiencing rapid change and now is an opportune time to consider our future. The diverse terrains where geologists conduct research comprise our geoheritage – the geologic sites or areas with significant scientific, educational, cultural, and/or aesthetic value. Geoheritage sites are vital to advancing knowledge and raising public awareness. The complex issues and ethics of geologic sampling are relevant to teaching, research, and our geoheritage. Ultimately, sample and data repositories with key metadata can be valuable for future generations of geoscientists. Both geoheritage studies and sampling efforts of the past, present, and future can benefit from the use of digital technology, accompanied by open data and more avenues for communicating our science.
Biography: Marjorie Chan recently retired after a rewarding 42-year career as sedimentology faculty at the University of Utah. She has received recognition for her Utah work (past UGA Lehi Hintze awardee) as well as other teaching, research, service, and outreach awards from GSA, AAPG, and AGI. As chair of the U.S. National Committee for Geological Sciences, she actively helped lead initiatives in geoheritage and sampling ethics.
