Degg's Model

Martin Degg is a lecturer who created this model.

The other useful model is Park's model. See if you can find a copy of this one in a textbook that you might be using. Both of the models explores the overlap between the cause of the hazard, and the factors that help it to become one, and those that help to reduce the risks involved. Here's a presentation that Mr. Parkinson gave with Lucy Tutton from the British Red Cross. GA 2017 Presentation - British Red Cross resource - Alan Parkinson and Lucy Tutton from GeoBlogs

OCR 'A' and 'B' Revision Guides

These are available to purchase from various places, and published by Hodder. They are the companion to the books that I co-wrote, and have a link through to the answers (which I also co-wrote and are available online) They match the books very well and have some useful additional activities and are helpful to recap on topics previously taught. I worked on some of the answers to the questions in these as well, and they should be appearing very soon online. I'll let you know when they arrive. Our students will be getting a copy of these to assist with revision.

A lot of these are identified in the Committee on Climate Change report, published in October 2018. This is available to download as a PDF. Here's one In England, 520,000 properties (including 370,000 homes) are located in areas with a 0.5% or greater annual risk from coastal flooding and 8,900 properties are located in areas at risk from coastal erosion, not taking into account coastal defences Remember to be clear on words such as mitigate, response et...
