(11/2/2005)

SO422 Home Page  Objectives  Labs

The syllabus will resemble that for Fall 1998 below.  It will be finalized after we pick a Sunday for the field trip, since we need to cover certain topics before the selected date and we need to work in the comp time.

  1. Discuss the probabilities of hurricane danger to the U.S. East Coast, and how these vary with location.
  2. Describe the coastal damage from hurricanes.
