Analogues, especially outcrop analogues, have played a central role in improving
understanding of subsurface reservoir architectures. Analogues provide important …

Terrestrial laser scanning, or lidar, is a recent innovation in spatial information data
acquisition, which allows geological outcrops to be digitally captured with unprecedented …

Laser ranging is extremely accurate and efficient. Terrestrial scanning lidar (light detection
and ranging) applied to outcrop stratigraphic mapping enables researchers to capture laser …

Multi-scale geological models contain three-dimensional, spatially referenced data, typically
spanning at least six orders of magnitude from outcrop to regional scale. A large number of …

This article focuses on the role of embodiment in learning spatial phenomena in virtual
reality in the context of geospatial education. We conducted an empirical study on the …

Abstract ABSTRACT The Simply Folded Belt of the Zagros Mountains, Iran, is a
spectacularly well-exposed example of a foreland fold and thrust belt. A regional analysis of …

Terrestrial laser scanning is an effective method for digitally capturing outcrops, enabling
them to be visualized, analyzed, and revisited in an office environment without the limitations …

Advances in virtual outcrop technologies and their introduction to fracture characterization
allow extraction of fracture data from very large and inaccessible areas. The recent …

ABSTRACT Outcrop data derived from fieldwork, remote sensing satellite and LiDAR-
derived 3D models were used to build an integrated dual porosity-permeability static …

Virtual models are increasingly employed in STEM education to foster learning about spatial
phenomena. However, the roles of the computer interface and students' cognitive abilities in …
