Slide sets detailing numerous natural disasters throughout history are now available from NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center. The slide sets are presented as 35mm slides, digital images on CD-ROM, or online. Sets are available for earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, life-threatening waves and other geologic hazards. Each slide set consists of 20 slides in color and/or black and white along with a separate booklet of captions to explain in greater detail the disaster presented. These slide sets provide an affordable and useful educational tool for students in elementary through high school. NGDC's Solid Earth Geophysics Division in Boulder, Colo., maintains this collection of natural disaster images. The new slide sets can be ordered at: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/fliers/se-0801.shtml For additional information about these
