Calling all Rainey geographers!

Geography teaches us about how to be prepared for localised natural disasters such as the outbreak of a disease or huge tsunami waves however some hazards are global in their impact. One potential threat is the eruption of a mega volcano and the masses of ash and sulphur dioxide gas it would emit that would lead to rapid falls in temperature, resulting in a global winter for all.

 

This week to celebrate GIS day on the 18th November, Year 10 pupils have been preparing for the potential threat of an Ashcloud Apocalypse.  Along with students from all over our planet, data has been crowd sourced to establish how well prepared our homes and areas really are for the huge impacts a super volcano could bring.

For any other students wishing to take part in this mapping project, you can find more details at the link below:Get ready for Ashcloud Apocalypse!
