    Okay so I'm taking Natural diasters right now and I got to do a report on a Natural Diasters, however, I'm always a sucker when it comes to picking a great topic.


    Can anyone figure out a better topic then the ones listed below, basically a really interesting natural diaster?
    Any good resources on the topic you can reccomend?

    Here's the assignment.

    Length: 5-10 double-spaced pages of text plus 5-10 additional figures for illustrative purposes.

    Theme: the paper will examine a case study involving one or more of the topics we have covered in the course.

    Possible topics (you may choose your own, but run it by one of the professors first):

    Super-volcanoes
    The Parkfield earthquake experiment
    Cascadia megathrust earthquakes
    The 26 December 2004 tsunami and attendant effects
    Mitigation of near-earth objects (i.e., asteroids)
    Hazards of coastal communities
    Super-typhoons
    The record-breaking Atlantic Hurricane season of 2005
    Hurricane Katrina and its associated effects
    Mitigation of a hurricane striking a megalopolitan region
