Welcome to BGeology 3D, a site designed by IRGCP (Interdisciplinary Research in Geology, Computer Science, and Psychology) to provide teaching tools in the geological sciences by providing topographic map tools. This site contains the tools that were developed in the first NSF CCLI sponsored project, Empowering Student Learning in the Geologic Sciences with Three Dimensional Interactive Animation and Low Cost Virtual Reality (NSF 05-36739). The most recent project is Improving Students' Visual Penetration Ability and Substrata Visualization in the Geologic Sciences with 3D Interactive Animation (NSF 0837626).
This project is developed by an interdisciplinary group of faculty from Bowling Green State University.
The primary goal of the first project is to develop, explore, and evaluate the usefulness of interactive three-dimensional models (3DIA) in college-level geology education. The primary goal of the second project is to improve students' visual pentration ability and substrata visualization in the geologic sciences with 3D animation. Read more
