Sue Warm and her brilliant take on global trends in geophysical, hydrometeorological, biological and climatological hazards.
Dr Martin Degg and his interesting presentation on the nature and history of volcanic hazards in Italy, including the super volcano that half a million people are living in.
Professor Fiona Tweed and her wonderful discussion on constructive boundaries and Iceland. Future goal... to visit the Icelandic volcanoes including EYJAFJALLAJOKULL!
Dr Peter Matanle and his deep talk on whether a "hope beyond disaster" is a valid assessment of the responses of natural disasters focusing in particular on Japan.. Prior to this, earlier in the morning, Japan had an earthquake of 7.3. Wow!
David Redfern and his fantastic advice on the role of players and strategies in case studies. Thinking like a geographer of course!
And not to forget... Professor Iain Stewart and his out of this world presentation on earthquakes: the good, the bad and the ugly! Which was extremely good!! He went into so many different aspects of earthquakes and what we should be doing in the future for earthquakes, which is most important! Probably could have sat and listened to him all day, phenomenal!
Overall... it was pretty awesome! :)
