Cascading and Linked Multi-hazards: Interacting UK Hazards - Impacts and Origins PhD

http://cascadingandlinkedmultihazards.blogspot.com/2013/12/interacting-uk-hazards-impacts-and.html

Cascading and Linked Multi-hazards. I am an Independent Consultant; my background includes a PhD at Southampton University, researching cascading and linked multi-hazards. I set up this blog to work through my ideas related to this area of research and hopefully receive some feedback from others with similar interests or greater expertise.
