The historical geosites and georoutes are not just place s with a history, but places that have made history in the field of the geo logical sciences. In these sites and itineraries the observations of some s pecific features determined new ideas, theories and interpretations which h ave changed human understanding of the geological phenomena. It is evident that the historical geosites and georoutes are landmarks for the history of science, as well as milestones for modern geology. In fact, the history of geosciences, from Antiquity to the Contemporary Age, is based not only on archival documents and printed material, but also on places, routes and lan dscapes, which have been described, studied and interpreted since the origi ns of the science of geology, in particular between the 18th and the 19th c entury. The increase of scientific travels and the emergence of fieldwork, from the 18th century to the present day, has defined and identified not on ly places, but also wider regions which, when preserved and still visible t oday, can become geosites or groups of geosites within an area with geohist orical value. Most of these sites, described in the geological literature, in particular between the 18th and the 19th century, can be considered the cradles of the modern geological fieldwork and the birthplaces of new ideas on the history of the Earth, as well as the sources for the history of the methodology of observing, sampling, representing and describing geological features in the field. The original routes of this early fieldwork, which took place during several travels and excursions in the past, can be recons tructed by the historical research and in some cases can be repeated in geo -historical fieldtrips (Johnston & Taylor, 2017). The importance of thi s "re-treading" of the early geological fieldwork has been recently emphasi zed by Martin Rudwick (2022) and its potential for possible new forms of ge otourism (Vaccari 2016) can be now regarded as highly significant, in parti cular for the benefit of the growing network of the Geoparks. The aim of th is session is to invite papers from different perspectives in sciences and humanities, in order to present and compare case studies regarding places a nd routes, particularly (but not exclusively) in the history of geological fieldwork, within an interdisciplinary framework including the history of g eosciences and the geoheritage, also in order to discuss the definitions an d the roles of historical geosite and historical georoute. This session is sponsored by the IUGS International Commission on the History of Geological Sciences (INHIGEO).\n \nUnder T38: Anthropocene\nSession 1: Anthropocene, History and the Geosciences: contribution to the contemporary debates  \n(c haired by Claudine Cohen, Ernst Hamm and Andrea Candela)\nThe concept of An thropocene, as a possible new geological epoch to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when anthropic activity has begun to exert a sign ificant impact on Earth’s climate, geology, and ecosystems, has been widely discussed in recent years not only within the community of geologists, and in particular in the field of stratigraphy, but also among historians, phi losophers, earth systems scientists, ecologists, sociologists, economists a s well as politicians. Needless to say, the idea that there can be a unit o f geological time where the anthropogenic footprint is clearly detectable, has encouraged lively debates among historians of science and technology, w ho have always been interested in the scope, meanings and effects, even fro m an environmental point of view, of techno-scientific and industrial proce sses. It is now a matter of fact that this very interdisciplinary topic has gradually attracted a growing interest worldwide from the media, the gener al public and even policymakers, as it is directly linked to the issue of t he global emergency of climate change. The notion of Anthropocene aims at h ighlighting the potential role as a major geological agent acquired by huma nkind over the 20th century, at the time when the “fossil fuels economy” ha s become globally established. Therefore, on the one hand, geosciences have been focusing on identifying the stratigraphic markers and the geological proxies of this new epoch. Indeed, a working group on the Anthropocene has been established within the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy. Howev er, on the other hand, historical disciplines, and more specifically the hi story and philosophy of science, have recently launched a variety of studie s on the genesis, historical genealogies and development of the Anthropocen e event and concept. The research in history of geological sciences can pro vide, in many ways, useful contributions to the current debate on the histo ry, definition and possible establishment of the new epoch called Anthropoc ene. In fact, several classic studies in the historiography of the Earth sc iences have been focused on the scientific, philosophical and socio-politic al contexts of the definition of new geological epochs from the 19th centur y to date. Moreover, the history of geosciences can help shed light on the interactions between geosphere and anthroposphere from a historical perspec tive. It can then help to reconstruct the history of those theories of the Earth, especially as a complex system, in relationship with the recent noti on of Anthropocene. The aim of this session is to invite papers from differ ent perspectives in sciences and humanities, in order to contribute to defi ne the concept of Anthropocene and evaluate it within the history of geosci ences.

In this INHIGEO sponsored session we wish to highlight their important roles over three centuries and welcome presentations on the hist ory of the trailblazers, those who excelled in research; the leaders, i.e. those who held important positions such as in the IUGS, IGCP, national surv eys, industry, museums, academic chairs in geology etc., and in particular those in the shadows, their contributions often unacknowledged or even forg otten, the women who, e.g., worked alongside their male colleagues as assis tants or flanked their husbands’ research as illustrators and in preparatio n of specimens. By reconstructing their history, their roles and the obstac les they encountered within the development of the geological sciences acro ss a broad geographical, social and time context we may provide lessons for the future and role models for the geoscientists of the 21st century.

Taking the main th eme of the 37th IGC "The Great Travelers: Voyages to the Unifying Earth", t his INHIGEO sponsored session invites presentations related to geoscientifi c travels that focused on Asia, but not exclusively, as travel and explorat ory expeditions across all the continents from the Americas, Africa, Oceani a and Europe can be also presented and discussed in a comparative way.

T he increase of scientific travels and the emergence of fieldwork, from the 18th century to the present day, has defined and identified not only places , but also wider regions which, when preserved and still visible today, can become geosites or groups of geosites within an area with geohistorical va lue.
