Earthquakes occur frequently and have killed over 70,000 people in the last 10 years, but is it possible to precisely predict when and where? Join the debate with Professor Tim Wright who will draw on his experiences of working in Iran, Turkey and Pakistan to discuss whether the observations and measurements used to monitor tremors can save lives.

Professor Tim Wright is a Professor of Satellite Geodesy at the University of Leeds.
