A free web application for teaching and exploring geological concepts

Visible Geology helps students grasp fundamental geological concepts in a captivating and fun digital environment. Move beyond traditional 2D and paper-based methods, and empower learning with intuitive 3D modelling, collaborative features for classrooms, and digitised stereonets.

For educators, Visible Geology’s simple, intuitive interface makes it effortless to modernise teaching practices and integrate this technology into your curriculum. Plus, it’s fun! Enjoy exploring topographies, intrusions, cross-sections, core samples, and even stereonets just as much as students.

Open Visible Geology

”I am a secondary teacher and geo. This is SO amazing. This really is the kind of tool that has been needed to light the passion in Earth Science.
John SpringTechnical Specialist - Geology and Mining

”The most fun I have had in a long time! The Beta of Visible Geology from Seequent is quite exceptional. Intuitive, fun and visually beautiful, give it a go!
Michael HeadlamTechnical Manager Geology

”Simple to use, easy to create different geological models, and visually nice to look at. I love the cross-section and borehole features. Visualising stereonets in 3D is a powerful tool - I haven't seen something this effective before.
Jason WilliamsTeaching Assistant in Applied Geosciences, University of Leeds

Using Visible Geology you can...

Build conceptual 3D geological models

With features like fixed and custom topographies, adjustable deformation event sequences, and the ability to generate cross-sections and core samples, students will gain valuable insights into geological relationships.

Teach interactive stereonets

Say goodbye to traditional tracing paper and thumbtacks! The stereonet tool blends traditional teaching methods with the convenience of a digital environment. Effortless usability and 3D visualisation helps students understand how the 2D graphical plot relates to real-life 3D structures. Plus, an up-to-date stereonet is no extra work with the dynamic link from your geological model.

Construct and investigate the principles of apparent dip

Help students master one of the most challenging concepts in structural geology! Using the Apparent Dip tool, students can create and manipulate 3D geological planes with different orientations and visualise their apparent dip in any cut or exposure face.

Encourage collaboration and learning in groups

Visible Geology simplifies assignment management for educators, allowing users to quickly create, save, and submit models to groups of students, fostering a collaborative learning experience. With website embedding features, science communication is elevated, enabling seamless sharing of models.

Inspiring future geoscientists

Seequent knows how important the study of earth sciences are to shaping a better future for our planet. That’s why we are committed to investing in Visible Geology, and ensuring it remains free and accessible for all.

The world need geoscientists more than ever, but globally enrolment trends in earth sciences are falling. Help us get Visible Geology into the hands of the next generation!
