Virtual Coast Ozone Lab Virtual Coast focuses on the interplay between wave refraction, longshore currents, and littoral drift as well as on the impact of the construction of groins and breakwaters on these processes.
Students interact with waves and the sediment transport system.
The Santa Barbara harbor, California is modeled. Virtual Earthquake is an interactive tutorial that helps students understand how the epicenters of earthquakes are located from seismograms and how their Richter magnitudes are determined. Virtual Groundwater is designed to inform students about the importance of groundwater hydrology. Students control parameters that affect slope stability such as slope angle, nature of materials and amount and degree of infiltration of rainfall. Many of the original studies which provided the supporting evidence for Plate Tectonics are modeled.
