"MEMBERS OF the public will today get the chance to relook at Hurricane Dorian, which pummelled The Bahamas in September, leaving in its wake death, hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, and widespread concern as to whether this is the new normal for hurricane events in Caribbean islands.
This is thanks to the ongoing ‘Science for Today’ public lecture series of the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of the West Indies, which looks at emergent and topical issues in the public’s interest through a science lens.
Today’s public lecture is being hosted by the Department of Geography and Geology inside Science Lecture Theatre 1, beginning at 5:30 p.m..
Presenters include Dr Tennecia Stephenson of the Climate Studies Research Group and head of the Department of Physics, and Dr Donovan Campbell, head of the Department of Geography and Geology. Together they will explore the topic ‘Abandon ship? A science take on disaster reduction and small island resilience in light of Dorian’."
