Earthquakes: The lessons learned

In this episode of Up Close, we speak to University of Melbourne earthquake researcher, Associate Professor Mark Quigley, about the lessons learned from recent major earthquakes and how we better prepare regions at risk, the value of strong science communication to affected populations and the importance of developing appropriate building codes in anticipation of the Next Big One.

Please note this interview was recorded before the devastating central Italy earthquake of 24 August 2016.
