A Brief Historical Geology of the Oregon Country
Three websites for real time earthquake monitoring:
IRIS: Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismolgy
Southern California Earthquakes
Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
Two videos to watch if you are interested in Portland or the Pacific Northwest's earthquake hazard:
Sesimological Society of America 2010 Annual Meeting Town Hall - Portland OR
(The talk by Jed Samson covers commercial buildings and a few bridges)
AGU Fall Meeting Frontiers in Geophysics: Hiroo Kanamori
Tohoku to Tsunami: Personal Account from Science to Experience
Some Useful Websites, in no particular order:
Hydrology: how does one analyze stream flow? Here is a good start:
Oregon State Turtorial on Streamflow Analysis
A set of fine photographs illustrating geology in the field by Marli Miller of U of Oregon:

A source of field trip guides to localities throughout Oregon is provided by the Oregon Department of Geology and Minerals Industries (DOGAMI):

A good introduction to paleomagnetism and its diverse applications can be found at Lisa Tauxe's site:

Introduction to General Geology from the University of Houston
http://www.uh.edu/~jbutler/physical/onlinefall2001.html
An introduction to the Geologic Time Scale from UC Berkeley
http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/exhibits/geologictime.php
Gillian Fouger and Don Anderson developed a website devoted to the mantle plume hypothesis. It contains many links to current and classic plate tectonics papers:
Ron Blakey's paleogeographic maps of the southwest US, North America, and more
