An
important element to our understanding of our Planet is our exposure to
the Earth Sciences. We are constantly being made aware that changes in
our Earth can be dramatic, and can effect our environments with stark
consequences.
One of my aims is to get out there and inform people about Earth Science and how we can use it to further our understanding of the way our Earth works and how it interacts with Man and his natural environment. I am doing this through media and science outreach activities.

Excerpt from a review in the TIMES; "In *The Hottest Place on Earth *a team of scientists and adventurers descended on a low-lying part of Ethiopia to analyse volcanic activity, the landscape and the way of life of the tribe. Dougal Jerram, the geologist, was fantastic, explaining how the rocky landscape was tilted along cracks in the Earth's crust."....the TIMES, March 20th 2009.
