Case Study Information
Each student is required to start a Case Study on their assigned topic. A Case study is a detailed investigation of an incident(or organization) or problem involving your Geohazard. The objective is to demonstrate the mechanics of your Geohazard (Explain the natural or geologic processes involved), and the implications for society, the economy, and the environment.
Remember that your Case study is a research project, you are not doing a police investigation into (example forColin and Eric: Waste Diposal Hazardous waste disposal in Lasalle), you are conducting research.

2. Include your sources on a separate web page that links to internet sites, and lists other sources used.

The evaluation of the project will greatly depend on the effort you put into meeting the required objectives stated above.
