- Hurricane tracking-- like the data that was shown to CS128, we can have them simulate the paths of hurricanes, severity, etc.
- Tsunami simluation-- similar to the above, except... with tsunamis. [edit: upon further investigation, tsunamis seem less model-able and are more a matter of using sensors and communication systems to detect them and broadcast warnings]
- If we're trying to generate interest, I think it would be good to initially give them huge models of catastrophic events that, to put it crudely, feel "awesome"; Just something to give them the ability to say "Well, WE just simulated a friggin' hurricane that tore across the east coast of the U.S." It might help plug them into the class.
