Natural Hazards Workshop Web and Wiki

(3 March 2009)

Why not contribute to our online discussion forum?

The webpage relating to the IHRR workshop on risk (The Social Science - Science Interface in Considering Natural Hazards - A workshop to explore common ground) can now be accessed at: http://tinyurl.com/Durham-Risk-Workshop
The website includes the presentation slides, audio files and the resulting discussion from the two day workshop.

We are keen to build on the success of the workshop by creating an online discussion forum for all to contribute to. The webpage therefore includes a series of discussion pages on some key topics covered. These include:

Language
Research design
Research methods
Analysis
Prospects for interdisciplinary PhD students

We would like to encourage everyone to participate in these discussions - just press the 'edit' button in the top right of the screen in whichever discussion you would like to contribute to, enter your comments and name, and then press save. The password to save is 'ihrr'. If there are any other issues you would like to discuss, or if you need help entering in your comments - click on the 'Create New Discussion' link or email us directly (n.j.rosser@dur.ac.uk; k.j.oven@dur.ac.uk).

We look forward to continuing these discussions.
