Titolo: Value-added virtual outcrops: from pretty pictures to a fundamental basis for multidisciplinary analysis and education.

The use of Virtual Outcrops (VO) in geosciences is becoming common-practice and has opened new pathways in data acquisition and analysis and geosciences eduation. The seminar will provide background on VO history and acquisition, focused on the transition from creating VOs (the pretty pictures part) to actually being able to benefit from them in many ways. Examples will include quantitative analysis, integration of data types (e.g. the hyperspectral, but also geophysical data and seismic modelling) through to 3D model sharing and virtual field trips.
