Virtual Field Trips in Geomorphology
On-demand virtual fieldwork
Virtual field trips to several geomorphological landscapes - whenever you want!
Virtual field trips are particularly useful when a place is very far away and not accessible.
Moreover, meteorological conditions such as rain, cold or hot weather do not pose a problem
and nor does the cost of transportation.
Welcome to Virtual Field Trips in Geomorphology!
Our virtual field trips allow you to explore the fascinating and spectacular world of various geomorphological landscapes. Look all around and zoom-in on features of interest and observe how the landscape changes from one location to the next.
​
Sure, there is no substitute for real fieldwork, but this is not always possible. Through its virtual fieldwork, Virtual Field Trips in Geomorpology supports class-based teaching. It can also be used by anyone wishing to explore these environments for themselves.
Virtual field trips are an alternative way to study an area. With this tool, anyone can observe any point of interest, rather than actually visiting it. It is more than simply presenting images and slides. You have the ability to view photos, videos, as well as satellite images, and from different aspects, both in two and three dimensions, and literally visit any place in the globe. It is very easy to use, whereas it is accessible from any device with an internet connection, such a personal computer, a tablet or a cell phone.
