Hazard City

Hazard City: Assignments in Applied Geology, 3e: Included inside every new copy of the text, Hazard City provides meaningful, easy-to-assign, and easy-to-grade assignments. Based on the idealized town of Hazard City, the assignments put students in the role of a practicing geologist <- gathering and analyzing real data, evaluating risk, making assessments and recommendations.

The third edition of this widely used CD-ROM contains two new modules:

Map Reading and Tsunami/Storm Surge. In Map Reading, students apply basic map reading skills by planning a route to collect stream water specimens in a case of suspected contamination. In Tsunami/Storm Surge, students use maps and basic math to determine the potential impact of a tsunami or storm surge on a coastal community.
