Karen Lythgoe
Seismologist | University of Edinburgh

Working in SE Asia has opened my eyes to how many people’s lives are affected by natural hazards. I aim use my skills to impact society, whether that’s assisting urban development or working with local institutes across the region. Some of my outreach work is below.

​

• Jointly deliver two day seismology workshop in Myanmar (December 2019).

• Give talks about Earth Science in Singapore schools.

• Live interview on Channel News Asia about my research.

• In London I worked with the fantastic charity KLS to teach young refugees (https://www.klsettlement.org.uk).

• I occasionally write blog articles for the Earth Observatory of Singapore website:
