Revolutionizing Earth Science Education with Visible Geology

Seequent’s free web application Visible Geology has made a significant impact in the field of earth science education since its launch, attracting 90,000 users from 117 countries in its first year. Developed in partnership with CerebralFix, a renowned game development studio, Visible Geology aims to transform the way students learn about geological concepts.

The inspiration behind Visible Geology stems from a pressing need for more earth scientists to tackle global challenges such as climate change and energy transition. Universities worldwide have reported a decline in enrollments for earth science programs, with statistics showing a substantial decrease in student numbers in countries like Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Seequent’s vision is to combat this shortage by leveraging innovative educational tools like Visible Geology to inspire and nurture the next generation of earth scientists. The application offers an immersive gaming experience that goes beyond traditional teaching methods, allowing users to explore 3D models of earth processes in a dynamic and interactive way.

Visible Geology empowers students to engage with geological concepts in ways that were previously not possible, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the field. By providing a free platform for exploration and experimentation, Seequent aims to spark curiosity and passion for geology among learners of all ages.

Highlight at AGU24

Seequent showcased Visible Geology at AGU24, the world’s largest gathering of earth scientists, held in Washington D.C. in December 2024. The application received positive feedback from attendees, who praised its ability to enhance their understanding of complex geological topics.
