Virtual Geology Field Trips: Exploring and Analyzing

Often times, analyzing the history and evolution of the Earth requires on-site exploration. But, sometimes, gaining access to a site is simply not feasible. That’s why virtual field trips are the next best thing. With digital tools, geoscientists can still analyze their area of interest from their computer desks using maps, outcrop photos, cross-sections, and more. It’s just a matter of finding the right digital tools to help. In this webinar, you will learn more about how to conduct a field trip virtually and how Geofacets can make your time more productive.
