Our ‘land of the shaky isles’ – is subject to the whims of tectonic plates and volcanoes, oceans, and geological processes. Using leading tech, the RiskScape powered supercomputer is humming away, crunching data and scenarios every second. It can tell us which roads would close following an Alpine Fault earthquake, whether volcanic ash will land on your roof and even whether a sea wall would protect your community from both tsunami and erosion. Dr. Nick Horspool discuss the science behind the endless possibilities to reduce our exposure to risk.
