Assignment 1: LASA 2: Monitoring Our Home Planet
The Internet is a powerful tool that provides the ability to
monitor natural phenomena and disasters that happen all over
planet Earth.
In this assignment, you will research resources available on the
Internet for monitoring natural phenomena including
earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, global climate, and weather.
Based on your research, do the following:
Identify a minimum of three different natural phenomena that
are typically responsible for natural disasters. Analyze the
potential impact of these disasters.
Analyze how these phenomenon are monitored, or not, via the
Internet. Critique available Web sites, which publicly display
up-to-date monitored information related to each of the natural
phenomena you have identified. Focus on the following aspects:
Geography
What parts of the world are potentially affected by these
phenomena? Specifically identify the countries.
Resources
What kinds of resources are allocated toward monitoring these
phenomena and why?
What types of Web resources monitor the phenomena and
provide up-to-date information about them?
What kinds of technology are involved in monitoring the
phenomena?
Politics
What political ramifications would this disaster-preparedness
technology cause between more-developed countries and less-
developed countries?
What kinds of issues could this technology cause between less-
developed countries?
Economics
How would this technology directly impact the economies of
those countries that have the technology versus those countries
that do not?
Do you predict any indirect impacts? What current evidence
supports your position?
Disaster Preparedness
What types of systems are in place in terms of disaster
preparedness related to these monitored phenomena?
Summarize your findings. Evaluate how this technology will
impact the future of humanity, both positively and negatively.
Be sure to consider the political and economic issues discussed
in your future predictions.
Support your statements with examples. Use a minimum of six
reliable references, two of which should be peer-reviewed
articles.
