Our MSc student Hannah Dixon participated in the eighth UN Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction forum last week. Held in Geneva, the event enabled participants to share new knowledge, exchange best practice and discuss the latest developments in reducing disaster risk. @es-ucl.bsky.social

Some of the scenery on our Azores field trip....😍 @es-ucl.bsky.social

On the fourth day of our field trip, students learnt about landslide hazards and mitigation at Ribeira Quente. ⛰️ @es-ucl.bsky.social

On the third day of our Azores field trip, we learnt about structural controls on volcanism, including the formation and hazards associated with calderas and monogenetic fields. Here is the group stood in Sete Cidades caldera on the western margin of São Miguel. @es-ucl.bsky.social

On the second day of our field trip to the Azores, students had a go at taking soil carbon dioxide concentration and flux measurements to investigate soil diffuse degassing, which can be a significant hazard on parts of the island here. @es-ucl.bsky.social

On the first day of our MSc Geophysical Hazards field trip to the Azores, our students walked in a lava tube and discussed the hazards associated with lava flows and lava-water interaction. @es-ucl.bsky.social 🌋

We are in Nicosia to present our interdisciplinary project with NYU-Gallatin (learningwithmountainsconference.wordpress.com). We are applying research theatre to explain the nature of unseen natural hazards. Photo shows Ellada Evangelou, Karen Holmberg, Kristin Horton. @es-ucl.bsky.social
