Environmental Geology Research Paper Topic?

I need help finding a topic for my research paper that has a geologic aspect. It has to be a specific environmental problem that affects people either economically or physically and should have a foundation in earth science processes. I have been trying to think of an idea for hours so any ideas/help would be appreciated. Please help!Environmental Geology Research Paper Topic?Structural damage to dwellings affected by tsunami inundation (Japan).



Structural damage to dwellings due to living on a creeping slope (any landslide-prone slope, especially when people have built on an ancient landslide that still slowly moves under certain conditions...I'm specifically thinking of the problems they have in the west hills of Portland, Oregon, or along the highway in the Columbia River Gorge).



A recent hot topic has been the toxic effect of hydro-fracking on groundwater (Pennsylvania).
