You’ve written the paper, now receive the reward! Your research paper could net $100 and free entry into this summer’s Natural Hazards Workshop if chosen as one of the two winners of our Fifth Annual Hazards and Disasters Student Paper Competition. And just to sweeten the deal, we’ve extended the deadline to April 30, 2009.

Papers may present current research, literature reviews, theoretical arguments, or case studies on social or behavioral aspects of hazards or disasters.

The competition is open to students enrolled in graduate or undergraduate classes for at least one term of the 2008-2009 academic year. For more information and application instructions, visit the competition page on the Natural Hazards Center website.
