Paul Wordsworth is the Wainwright Research Fellow in Near Eastern Archaeology at the University of Oxford and associate lecturer in Islamic Archaeology at University College London. His research focusses on the Early Islamic archaeology and history of the Caucasus and Central Asia with a particular focus on landscapes and geographic information systems (GIS). He is currently working on projects in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan and will present an introductory overview of his latest project on earthquakes in Central Asia.

Richard Walker is professor of tectonics at the University of Oxford who uses detailed field investigation, earthquake studies, and Quaternary dating methods to quantify the distribution, rates, and evolution of active faulting within deforming parts of the continents. He has been working most recently in China, the Tien Shan, Iran, Mongolia.
