Professor Ilan Kelman

Dr Ilan Kelman is Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, UK and Professor II at the University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway. His overall research interest is linking disasters and health, including the integration of climate change into disaster research and health research.

​

Dr Kelman creates videos to explore different aspects of disasters. 

What exactly is a disaster? How do we define such an event? And is there really such a thing as a natural disaster?

Join Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, for this series, The Science of Disasters, in which he explains exactly what constitutes a disaster, why they happen and how we can better prepare for them.
