摘      要：Geohazard research requires extensive spatiotemporal understanding based on an adequate multi-scale representation of modelling *** most commonly applied representation basis for collected data is still the one of a 2D plane,typically a *** maps of spatial data can be visualised and processed by using Geographic Information *** is far less common to use 3D geomodels for the analysis and visualisation of spatial *** the visualisation of both spatial and temporal hazard components,there are no standardised *** claim that a full geohazard assessment is only possible inside a new type of geoscientific and technological environment that is at the same time multi-dimensional,spatiotemporal,integrated,fully interactive(tele-)immersive,and *** and subsurface processes are interacting at various scales that are difficult to be overviewed at *** Reality(VR)technology could provide an attractive solution to overcome the multi-dimensional and spatiotemporal *** review of geoscientific applications using VR technology developed by multiple teams around the world shows that some solutions have already been developed many years ago,but widespread use was not *** is clearly changing now and soon we will see if VR can contribute to a better understanding of geo-processes.
