This is an integrated series of Web resources designed to allow professors to have a completely on-line Web course for environmental geology. The material on this site should also enhance courses like physical geology, natural disasters, and introductory or general geology. "The Good Earth" is a structured Web environment that instructors can use in place of a textbook. You and your students receive access to the Web site as well as a 304-page companion guide. "The Good Earth" Web site contains four major components: a series of lecture topics or chapters that deal with subjects covered in a typical environmental geology course; interactive presentations that contain 50 or more slides that can be projected in class; an image glossary with images and descriptions of terms used in lectures; and an environmental calendar that describes key events in environmental history. This visionary method of teaching should give students a more "hands-on" approach to learning geology. "The Good Earth" Web site is organized in chapters, with animations used to explain certain processes, a summary, quizzes, and exercises, and Web links to related Web sites.
