Learning & Education

The U.S. Geological Survey provides scientific information intended to help educate the public about natural resources, natural hazards, geospatial data, and issues that affect our quality of life. This website provides links to selected online resources to support education (K-12) and college inquiry and research.

Natural Hazards are often inter-related — Landslides are often associated with other hazards such as floods, earthquakes, and storm surge. Visit these other USGS websites for more information:

Natural Hazards Gateway - USGS Hazards Links and USGS Education website

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) has an excellent resource page for those wanting to be educated about local community emergency management.

There are also links here, for teachers and students - http://www.fema.gov/tab_education.shtm

Science Fair Projects — There are many sources on the internet for ideas on Science Fair projects that are landslide-oriented. Search Engines are the best source for finding these sites, and the NLIC will help provide background materials and photos.
