Virtual Geosciences

Virtual Geosciences

For Geoscientists, the laboratory is everywhere. Fundamental information about the formation of the rocks beneath our feet, the evolution of the landscape and evidence for ancient human activities are collected by observation in the field. Recent technological advances in digital imagery and the development of affordable and easy-to-use remote airborne vehicles (DRONES) has also opened a new chapter in field studies for geoscientists.

The School of Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen is a world-leader in the adoption and application of digital technology, combining the latest virtual tools and resources with our unrivalled field study locations on our doorstep here in Scotland and overseas.
