You could do a report on the relationship between hardening a surface and stormwater runoff, showing that increased hardening increases runoff therefore increasing erosion and contributing yet more sediment to our waters killing the base of our food chain. Not that I am bitter or anything. lol.
You could also do a report on the effects of riparian (rivers and streams) vegetation as an erosion control measure for riparian systems. I did a project on this in college for my soils and geomorphology class. It was actually very interesting.

Have a look at:
http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/current_volcs/current.html
It is an updated report of all active volcanoes in the world, with pictures. If you are good with computers you can cut and paste text and the pictures. Some stories have links to satellite view.
This what I'd do, but then I am fascinated by volcanoes, and live near some.

Do something on the weather or even natural disasters like an earthquake or a hurricane.
Go to nyelabs.com for project ideas.

Why dont you do one that is connected with the orbit of the earth around the sun and the effects of the path of orbit in relation to cloud/evaporation.

Go and study the prediction of earthquake and Tsunami. For help go to my photo album at the URL Ctrl+click will open the slide show. Most required for these days.
