The course syllabus provides a general plan for the course; deviations may be necessary! Textbook: Introduction to Environmental Geology (3rd Editoin) by: Edward A. Keller. Pearson-Prentice Hall
NOTE: Try buying used version of the book online for few dollars, before the semester starts!
Make sure the Book comes with a CD (for Hazcity assignments)!

For all Hazard City Assignments use 'Version 1" on textbook's CD! Please get the CD!
You are required to do the following 4 assignments (see schedule below):
Earthquake Hazard, Volcanic Hazard, Flood Insurance Rate, and Groundwater

NOTE: Economic way to print the lecture Powerpoint slides:
From the "File" menu in Powerpoint, select the "Print" option and then set the "Print What:" to "Handouts", and then set the "Slides per Page:" option to "4" or "2". This prints four or 2 slides on one page; you save paper and ink!
