Geological Society - Sharing an Uncertain World: Lessons in Managing Risk 2017 is a conference that covers topics such as:
- Lessons for Earth Scientists from other sectors with a heightened exposure, e.g. aviation, healthcare, big engineering, performance sports
- What is risk, how do different sectors and disciplines approach it and how does it leave us vulnerable at different scales?
- The nature of the Earth`s hazards and how they translate into meaningful and dramatic consequences for society, e.g. for finance, urban development, contingency planning
- Different sectors` experience of management of risk, from the organisational level down to the modelling of uncertainties around given activities
- Understanding the dangers and exceptional capabilities of human behaviour from event-based stress through consideration of long-range natural hazards
- How we can best use technology to identify, manage and communicate risks and their uncertainties
Geological Society - Sharing an Uncertain World: Lessons in Managing Risk 2017 brings together earth scientists and practitioners from a range of other sectors.
