For the Instructor

These student materials complement the Coastal Processes, Hazards and Society Instructor Materials. If you would like your students to have access to the student materials, we suggest you either point them at the Student Version which omits the framing pages with information designed for faculty (and this box). Or you can download these pages in several formats that you can include in your course website or local Learning Managment System. Learn more about using, modifying, and sharing InTeGrate teaching materials.

Goals and Objectives

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Analyze real world data on global distribution of cities identified as most vulnerable to coastal flooding.
Consider the multiple variables that determine the ranking of these cities in the present and future.
Use geospatial skills with online tools such as Google Earth to explore and compile data for a variety of coastal communities at risk from coastal flooding.
Use geospatial analysis skills with tools such as GeoMapApp to create elevation profiles of the case study communities.
