What's New in Columbia Earthscape, February 2005

Columbia Earthscape's February update highlights resources
associated with the December 2004 tsunami in Asia. Papers on a
range of issues: health effects
http://www.earthscape.org/pmain/sites/cdc.html, mitigation
efforts http://www.earthscape.org/p1/ES15807/, and regional
hazard assessment ..r1/ES15809/illuminate current practice and
research on this natural hazard. A new curriculum resource on
Tsunamis http://www.earthscape.org/t1/t1.3f.htmlis located in
the course content section under Hydrosphere. The unit includes a
complete textbook http://www.earthscape.org/t1/ES15810/and
teachers' guide http://www.earthscape.org/t1/ES15811/on
earthquakes and tsunamis written by Chilean researchers. It also
identifies images and interactive resources from USGS, NOAA, and
others.

The books section features recently released titles from Princeton
University Press on genomics
http://www.earthscape.org/r3/ES15826/, conservation
http://www.earthscape.org/r3/ES15861/, and earthquakes
http://www.earthscape.org/r3/ES15827/.

Also this month, Columbia Earthscape welcomes two new journal
contributors: Advances in Environmental Monitoring and Modelling
http://www.earthscape.org/rmain/sites/aemm.htmland San
Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science
http://www.earthscape.org/rmain/sites/sfew.html.
