Hazards Student eConferenceIt’s a different world since we hosted over 1,500 students at the 2019 Hazards day. Nevertheless, this year we’re determined to bring our panel of experts to your classrooms with 6 amazing talks about contemporary themes in geography.

This bundle of recorded lectures will bring real-world insights to your students that they can apply in their exams. Such a rich and diverse panel of speakers is not to be missed so ensure that you register for your school.

Professor David PetleyThe 2018 Sulawesi Earthquake in Indonesia: a complex tectonic disaster

This talk will explore the 2018 Sulawesi Earthquake, its causes; the mechanics of the rupture; the causes and impact of the tsunami; and the reasons for the landslides that caused so much damage.

Professor Fiona TweedPlaying with fire? Living with volcanic risk

Volcanoes have both fascinated and threatened society since the dawn of civilisation, but what lessons can we learn from past eruptive activity? What sorts of impacts could future eruptions have?

Sue WarnTechniques for writing a top scoring hazard essay

From using key specialised concepts and models to case study research and essay planning, this session will go through the high level skills you need to earn top marks.

Iain StewartA student’s guide to the fundamentals of plate tectonics

President of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and BBC Science broadcaster, Iain Stewart will break down the essential information A-level geographers need to grasp about plate tectonics.

David Redfern‘From hazard to disaster – when size doesn’t always matter.’

Using modern examples, see how conceptual models and factors beyond the magnitude of an earthquake, such as population vulnerability, governance and technology can make hazards disastrous.

Cameron DunnTectonic hazard and disaster trends: an analysis*

Examine trends in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunami and examine why some places such as Indonesia and New Zealand are exposed to more risk, spatially and temporally, than others.

*Presented in two talks – one AQA-specific and one for all boards.
