With geohazards and climate change high on the world agenda, we are once again offering an A level Geohazards Student Conference, a day of inspiring talks to inform students about recent developments in all aspects of geohazards – from landslides to earthquakes, tsunamis to climate change.
We hope that students will be inspired to go further in their studies with in-depth case studies by expert University speakers. The conference will be beneficial to A level Geology and Geography students.
There will be no charge for registration. The event includes a complimentary light lunch.
