| Prof Chan Lung Sang, a renowned expert in earthquakes, geophysics, and geology of Hong Kong, presented a geography talk to Pooikeinians on 23 Jan, 2017. |
|
| Earthquake is a natural hazard and it is an important topic in HKDSE Geography studies. Prof Chan introduced the mechanism and causes of earthquakes, and compared the major earthquake events of recent years including the Sumatra tsunami in 2004, the Sichuan earthquake in 2008 and the recent Japan earthquake in 2011. He also shared with us on how he pursued the career as a geologist and told us the promising prospects of a geologist. It was a precious opportunity for Pooikeinians to learn geographical knowledge from a well-known professor. This talk made our day fruitful. |
