The aim of the independent project is to undertake a desk study of an issue or problem in natural hazard or risk science. It is not necessary for the study to involve original research, but it is essential that it incorporates an element of critical evaluation of the chosen theme, whether this be a particular data-set, model, problem, or hypothesis. Straightforward description or summarisation will not be acceptable.
