Under the impact of COVID-19, several educational institutes have transformed traditional geologic field studies into a new learning model. To maintain the geologic training and promote geoscience under the “new norm”, the Earth System Science Programme, CUHK has incorporated local famous geologic features into Virtual Reality (VR) geologic tours (geo-tours). This talk will share some of the recent VR geo-tours developed and how students and the general public use these platforms for preparing a geologic field study. More importantly, the talk will demonstrate the way geologists apply interdisciplinary knowledge such as geography, physics, and chemistry in a geologic study.
