Earthscape

This month, Earthscape highlights educational materials on earthquakes and natural
hazards. An e-seminar from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory entitled "How
Predictable Are Natural Disasters?" is offered to all subscribers. We've added several
papers from American Rivers and the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development,
Environment, and Security exploring the health of our rivers and quality of our water.
The 2005 Environmental Sustainability Index from CIESIN is included, as well as their
analysis of Natural Disaster Hotspots.
