Improving student understanding of complex spatial-temporal relationships in Earth Sciences using computer animation and visualization

Pages 72-77 | Published online: 15 Dec 2015

Figures & data

Figure 1 Screen grab from a video-based practical exercise exploring the temporal evolution and spatial complexity of deltas

Figure 2 Simplified workflow used for the editing and production of digital video films within the project. “DW’er” is DreamWeaver web site development software. “Acrobat” is Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Designer. (MPG = Mpeg Video File, WMV = Windows Media Video, DV-AVI = Uncompressed Video File)

Figure 3 Adobe After Effects software was used to produce the computer graphic animations, including this 3D representation of a meandering river system and its preserved deposits.

Figure 4 A screen grab from a video of a flume tank experiment run by Keele University Geology undergraduates. Students edited the footage and used it to work out initial flow velocities and rates of deceleration for a range of density currents.
