VR Excursions

Subtitle
Exploring Earth's Environment

For use in classes on environmental science, environmental geology, physical geology, physical geography and Earth science. VR Excursions uses advanced interactive technology to give students access to a variety of complex environments (a nuclear-waste disposal site, a coal-fired power plant and a solid-waste landfill site). These virtual environments are rich enough that they can be tailored to professors' individual course goals or they can be used with the accompanying lab manual and Instructor's Manual as a turn-key method of using the computer to give students "hands-on" field experience in the Earth and environmental sciences.
