Bridging the Gap: How Virtual Reality is Helping the Next Generation of Geoscientists

Phillip Ruscica and edited by Andreia Hamid September 16, 2026

Deciphering Earth’s geological history is no easy feat. For undergraduate students beginning their journey in geology, identifying a rock and drawing connections with relevant geodynamic processes occurring over millions of years can be a challenge. In this week’s blog post, Phillip Ruscia explains how virtual reality (VR) and the High Immersion Virtual Experiences (HIVE) research lab at the Unive ...[Read More]
