St. Kitts and Nevis (WINN): Mr Lloyd Lynch, Research Fellow in Instrumentation at the UWI Seismic Research Centre engaged the Fourth form Geography class at the Charles E Mills Secondary School in an interactive session on Friday, November 17, 2023.
The students gained knowledge and insights on the likely causes of earthquakes and volcanoes, the role and importance of the UWI Seismic Research Centre and career paths associated with Geography.
The initiative was the brainchild of Geography Teacher, Mr Lawson Webbe, who took advantage of the opportunity after hearing the news that Seismic experts were in the Federation.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said it was “more than happy to facilitate the activity on Friday. The students were alert and had lots of questions which signaled their interest in the topics being discussed. Our future looks bright!”
Mr Lynch, is one of two seismic experts from the UWI Seismic Research Centre who visited St. Kitts and Nevis early in November to carry out critical maintenance and upgrades on the Federation’s seismic network.
The visit came on the heels of World Tsunami Awareness Day which was observed locally and internationally on November 5th.
