• Press, Frank and Siever, Raymond. 1974. Earth. W.H. Freeman and Company.
  Although this text is older, it is an excellent reference to the basics of geology. With the description of internal processes of earth at an introductory level, it allows one access to background that is needed to work with the concept of earthquakes and tsunamis.

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Center for Tsunami Research
  http://nctr.pmel.noaa.gov/
  Current research for tsunamis that includes modeling, mapping and early warning systems.
• School of Geosciences, University of Sydney, Australia
  http://www.geosci.usyd.edu.au/research/marinegeophysics/movies.html
  Quicktime video clips that model mantle convection and plate tectonics.
• National Public Radio

• Faultline: Seismic Science at the Epicenter
  http://www.exploratorium.edu/faultline/
  A tremendous educational site for earthquake science. Current data are shared and the history and science of earthquakes and their impact on society is presented.

• America's Tsunami: Are We Next? DVD. Discovery Channel. 2005
  This is the resulting documentary of research in the Indian Ocean that was, in part, sponsored by the British Broadcasting Company and included an ARMADA Project sponsored teacher aboard the research vessel, The Performer. Looks at the results of the research into the cause of the devastating December, 2004 tsunami and applies this knowledge to the possible events of a similar event off the Pacific Coast of the United States.
