Alaska Earthquakes & Tsunami Presentation
Robert Butler (ANGLE Project)
This lecture and associated animations delve in more deeply to the topic of Alaskan earthquakes and tsunami along with their causes and variability. It also draws on EarthScope GPS and seismic data to show how we can study earth processes to better understand Alaskan geohazards. It highlights case study sites of Whittier and Seward during the 1964 Alaska Mag 9.2 earthquake to show how differences in location, topography, and land use can lead to different tsunami experiences in different communities. give a good introduction to tsunami produced by earthquakes and landslides. It includes information on how they are generated and why there can be great variability between tsunami characteristics--even for earthquakes of similar size. The lecture describes tsunami generated by the in particular depth.

Alaska Plate Tectonics & Geohazards Presentation
ANGLE Project
This lecture and associated animations give a basic introduction to plate tectonics and associated earthquakes and volcanoes, using Alaska as the case study site. A similar lecture featuring the USA's Pacific Northwest region is available from the Cascadia EarthScope Earthquake and Tsunami Education Program (CEETEP)

Tsunami Basics Presentation
Robert Butler (ANGLE Project)
Educational resource page presenting a lecture and animations on tsunami generation from earthquakes and landslides, focusing on mechanisms, variability in tsunami characteristics, and case studies like the 1964 Alaska earthquake, designed for introductory geoscience learners with prior knowledge of plate tectonics. auto-generated The author of this page didn't provide a brief description so this one sentence summary was created by an AI tool.

Field Trip Guide: The 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake and Tsunami--Consequences of Living on the Leading Edge in Alaska
Robert Witter (ANGLE Project)
This is a guide to a field trip that visits sites in Anchorage, Girdwood, and Whittier Alaska. The focus of the trip is the understand the science and societal impacts of the 1964 Alaska Mag 9.2 earthquake as well as the ongoing EarthScope research on geohazards to help us better plan for future events. Participants practice a tsunami evacuation walk as way to foster discussion of preparedness actions and challenges.

Comparison of Two Hurricanes
David Kobilka, Central Lakes College-Brainerd
In this activity students synthesize ideas from lecture, reading, and viewing two PBS NOVA videos on hurricanes.

Oil Spills
Oil spills cause enormous amounts of damage to ocean and coastal ecosystems and the human populations that depend on them for subsistence, employment, and commerce. These resources speak to the effects of oil spills and aid educators in teaching about these catastrophic events.

Air-sea Interactions: Activities in Oceanography
Steve LaDochy, California State University-Los Angeles
This online set of activities help students learn properties of ocean waves, wind-wave relationships and properties of tsunamis.

Ocean Circulation and Upwelling Visualizations
This educational resource page from the "On the Cutting Edge" project offers a curated collection of visualizations—including images, animations, and models—focused on ocean circulation and upwelling processes, designed to support geoscience educators in teaching oceanography topics. auto-generated The author of this page didn't provide a brief description so this one sentence summary was created by an AI tool.

Visualizations Useful for Teaching Tides
Photos, simple animations, animated maps (with video introduction), and field videos that can be integrated into lectures or classes on tides, their distribution in space and time, their role in sedimentary processes, and their use as an energy source.
