The geosciences address questions whose answers require interdisciplinary perspectives. Understanding complex geological and planetary phenomena demands an array of methodological tools from different scientific disciplines. But insights into how geosciences are practiced often emerge through dialogue with the humanities and social sciences. By connecting beyond the geosciences to history, philosophy, and other social sciences, we can better examine the foundations and implications of geoscientific practices. This session invites contributions that reflect on the methods, values, and cultural practices that shape the geosciences—past, present, and future. We aim to foster interdisciplinary conversations about how geoscientific knowledge is created, challenged, and applied, and how it interacts with broader social and ethical concerns. Submissions may include historical case studies, ethical considerations, philosophical analyses of geoscientific practices—their assumptions, frameworks, and societal implications—as well as perspectives from science and technology studies (STS), feminist studies, and/or related fields.
