Abstract

This good practice guide explores the challenges, benefits and opportunities associated with higher education institutions (HEIs) engaging the public in the disciplines of geography, earth, and environmental science (GEES). We live in a world with massive global, societal and environmental challenges. Work undertaken in universities in the GEES disciplines contributes greatly to the search for solutions to these challenges. The GEES disciplines are increasingly being made accessible in the public arena and it is essential that this engagement with the public is effective, accurate and constructive.
