Natural Hazards and Disasters

Beschreibung

"In teaching large introductory environmental and physical geology courses for many years-and, more recently, natural hazards courses-it has become clear to us that topics involving natural hazards are among the most interesting for students. Thus, we realize that employing this thematic focus can stimulate students to learn basic scientific concepts, to understand how science relates to their everyday lives, and to see how such knowledge can be used to help mitigate both physical and financial harm"--
