The GfGD team are safely in Leh, having arrived yesterday morning. The flight from Delhi took us over some amazing landscapes and very visible geology. Upon arrival we were informed that the Dalai Lama would also be arriving soon – giving us a fascinating insight into some aspects of local culture.
We’ll be starting our project in the local schools on Friday – with the GfGD team (Joel Gill, Rosalie Tostevin) and two UCL undergraduates students (Katharine Sherratt and Celia Willoughby) taking a lead in the teaching on landslides and disaster risk reduction on the Friday afternoon session. Our internet is slow and unreliable, but we will try to write an overview of the programme over the weekend.
