EN) The paper documents the creation in 2004 of real-world stereographic panoramas at the UNESCO world heritage listed site Angkor, in Cambodia. The project builds upon the history of the panorama as a medium of virtual travel that has existed from the eighteenth century. The significance of the current project is the way in which real-world (as opposed to computer generated) stereographic pano...

Virtual Heritage Caches are a new instrument for disseminating information about heritage sites in a non formal way. Educational concepts for world heritage sites and cultural heritage already exist in museums (exhibition) and on site (signage, smartphone apps). Often they are closed systems with little intersection and interaction between them. Heritage Caches aim to combine their target audie...

This paper describes a novel approach to satisfy the needs of museum’s website visitors with a unique experience that cannot be reproduced in the museum itself. We aim at providing a continuous and lasting experience, without the emphasis of a single, final result a process we call digital strolling. The view supports this process by displaying results as a path on which the user strolls. To en...

Hf isotope ratios measured in igneous zircon are controlled by magmatic source, which may be linked to tectonic setting. Over the 200-500 Myr periodicity of the supercontinent cycle - the principal geological phenomenon controlling prevailing global tectonic style - juvenile Hf signals, i.e. most radiogenic, are typically measured in zircon from granites formed in arc settings (crustal growth),...

A 3D virtual geological route on Digital Earth of the geological-geomorphological and paleontological heritage in Algarve (Portugal) is presented, assessing nine representative geosites. Eighteen quantitative parameters are used, weighing scientific, didactic cultural tourist interest each site. has been created Google Earth, with overlaid georeferenced cartographies, as a field guide for stude...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initiated a two-year regional pilot survey in 2007 to develop, test, and validate tools and approaches to assess the condition of northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) coastal wetlands. Sampling sites were selected from estuarine and palustrine wetland areas with herbaceous, forested, and shrub/scrub habitats delineated by the ...
