Major Earthquake Events / 10B / Leighty / Physical Geology (GLG 101IN)
A review of some (but certainly not all) of the most infamous earthquake events to occur in the last 100 years or so. This includes devastation not just due to ground shaking, but inundation from related, massive tsunami waves. As with most lectures, we could spend a whole semester on this topic.
