This led to a tremendous loss of life. This thesis examines that loss of life and the geography of death left behind by the eruption. Where did the citizens of Pompeii die, and how could they have avoided their fate? These are issues that are examined through geographic methodologies and the use of GIS. The results indicate a people that could have been spared with proper hazards management, and one that shows through mapping the large loss of life that accompanied one of history's most famous volcanic eruptions. 2013-12-10 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1384891685 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1384891685 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
