A series of brief talks from some ‘extreme’ humans with a background in social issues, health, medicine and extreme sports, will provide a fascinating view of individual and community health and wellbeing in the face of extreme environments and conditions. We will also hear from our UoE funding experts and invite all attendees to discuss opportunities for surviving and thriving in extreme environments. 

This is the second Think Tank hosted by Exeter Extreme Environments, a new hub in the University organised around the pillars of Earth-Space-Communities that seeks to apply the lessons learned from research on extreme environments to prepare us for the extremes of today and the future.

Our Extreme human panellists include:

Alice Venn – Human Rights in extreme communities threatened by climate change

Mark Hannaford – Extreme Medicine

Steve Bowens– Extreme marine – Crossing the Atlantic by rowing boat

Bethany Robinson – Extreme Survival – SAS: Who Dares Wins

Dan Perkins – Surviving in post disaster landscapes
