Direct outcrop observation and field data collection are key techniques in research, teaching
and outreach activities in volcanic areas. However, very often outcrops are of difficult or …

In this paper, we have adopted a modern, cutting-edge methodology to make geoheritage
sites (geosites) available and explorable worldwide, through both immersive and non …

Immersive virtual reality can potentially open up interesting geological sites to students,
academics and others who may not have had the opportunity to visit such sites previously …

We document and show a state-of-the-art methodology that could allow geoheritage sites
(geosites) to become accessible to scientific and non-scientific audiences through …

Abstract Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry has recently become a cheap and efficient
method to reconstruct accurate and highly-resolved 3D Digital Outcrop Model (DOM) from a …
