“…Among various themes addressed using VR, the ones related to geohazards are of particular significance [67,68]. Havenith et al [69] argued that a thorough assessment of geohazards necessitates the use of a novel geoscientific and technological environment that is multi-dimensional, spatiotemporal, integrated, interactive, and collaborative.…”

“…They concluded that VR fulfils the requirements and offers a promising solution to overcome various challenges associated with awareness raising, not only among decision-makers but also among the general public. In fact, modelling of a virtual scene is a very important component of the application of VR technology in geohazard studies and education [67]. Thus, digital 3D models were used to reproduce landscapes vulnerable to geohazards such as landsliding [70][71][72], volcanic eruptions [7,8], and flooding [73,74], but also subject to technological hazards such as dam failing [75].…”

Virtual reality is a technological development that, among others, has revolutionized Earth sciences. Its advantages include an opportunity to examine places otherwise difficult or impossible to access and it may also become an important component of education, fostering a better understanding of processes and landforms, geohazard awareness, and an appreciation of geoheritage. This paper reports on the GeoVT project, which aims to create a platform to build and disseminate Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) focused on geomorphology, natural hazards associated with geomorphological processes, and geoheritage sites. To put the GeoVT project in context, an overview of applications of VR in geosciences is provided. This paper subsequently proceeds with a presentation of the project and the GeoVT Authoring application, which is an innovative platform designed to help teachers and students, followed by brief presentations of a number of VFTs developed within the project. They address themes such as fluvial landforms and valley development, coastal landforms, evidence of past glaciation, coastal erosion, wildfire effects, mud volcanoes, and landslides.
