Dr Tom Robinson

Dr. Tom Robinson is a senior lecturer at the University of Canterbury specializing in disaster risk and resilience. His expertise lies in understanding complex natural hazards, particularly landslides, which he emphasizes are often underrepresented in public education compared to earthquakes and tsunamis. Robinson's research focuses on the dynamic interplay between gravity and friction that determines when and where landslides may occur, advocating for improved community awareness of landslide risks and the need for an all-hazards approach to disaster management.
