Geology, the study of Earth, covers a time span of about 4.5 billion years and is a fascinating story, still full of mystery and uncertainty but with scenes of intense drama and suspense. The visual richness and intellectual excitement of geology are intriguing for both life-long learners and undergraduate students. Few of us can remain impassive when viewing the fiery eruptions of volcanoes, or seeing the effects of destructive earthquakes. Understanding the causes of such geologic hazards and how to predict or mitigate their effects is important, no matter where we live.
