<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

Hurricane Katrina disaster, we now have another “teachable moment”
in the earth sciences. Many of you will be teaching about this event in the
coming week(s), and we wanted to call to your attention a new collection of
visualizations on the NAGT On the Cutting Edge program website on Hurricane
Katrina specifically, as well as visualizations on Historic Hurricanes, and Reconstructions
and Visualizations of Model Hurricanes <a
href="http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/visualization/collections/hurricanes.html">http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/visualization/collections/hurricanes.html</a>
. Please use these resources in your own classes in the coming week(s), and
also, please contribute additional resources (visualizations, URLs, reports,
etc.) via: <a
href="http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/visualization/contribute.html">http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/visualization/contribute.html</a>.
In the midst of this tragedy, hopefully we can promote better public awareness
about the causes and impacts of geo-hazards.</span></font></p>
