Natural Hazards - Floods in Assam India

Take a few minutes to look at the report from the BBC about the floods in Assam, a region of India:

How does this fit with our understanding of hazards and hazard perception?

Welcome!

Welcome back to our A2 students and a warm welcome to our new AS students.

Please keep up with this blog which is designed to support your learning. As well as posting details of Geography events it will be used to post materials to support your earning in class and at home.

Best wishes for the start of the new academic year.
