Synopsis

Our planet is a dynamic place. Geologic Disasters Laboratory provides hands-on learning experiences for students to better understand the geologic concepts behind the disasters they are studying. The individual laboratories featured in this book are created to fit with courses using Earth's Natural Hazards: Understanding Natural Disasters and Catastrophes; however they can be easily used with other disaster courses as well. The authors have created 15 laboratories covering a wide range of natural disasters. The labs use real-world data sets, several labs feature the use of Google Earth, and a portion of them can be completed by students working outside of a formal laboratory time. Check out Earth's Natural Hazards: Understanding Natural Disasters and Catastrophes by Best and Hacker for your disasters course textbook.
