#39: Preventing natural hazards

In this episode, host Andrew Geary speaks with Alireza Malehmir, professor of applied geophysics at Uppsala University. Andrew and Dr. Malehmir discuss geophysics role in preventing natural hazards and best practices for communicating science to the public and policy makers. Show notes and links at https://seg.org/podcast/Post/6476. Biography Alireza Malehmir is professor and senior lecturer at Uppsala University. He holds expertise as a controlled source seismologist, mining geophysicist, and applied geophysicist. He serves as vice-chair of the EAGE Near-Surface Geoscience Division and has been a guest editor for GEOPHYSICS and Interpretation. Dr. Malehmir led a Geoscientists Without Borders project focused on quick-clay, or rapid Earth flow landslides in Sweden. Learn more at http://bit.ly/2uKH7Gz. He has a PhD in geophysics from Uppsala University.
