Its contributions explore the emerging use of digital 3D modeling to represent geological structures and simulate geological processes—techniques that have since become routine across geoscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this volume particularly interesting today is its age. Published long before modern GPUs, ubiquitous GIS software, photorealistic visualization, and today's enormous geological datasets, it documents researchers developing the computational foundations of technologies now used to digitally reconstruct landscapes, geological formations, subsurface structures, and changes through geological time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is therefore as much an artifact of the \u003cstrong\u003ehistory of scientific computing and data visualization\u003c\/strong\u003e as it is a geology reference: a snapshot of the period when scientists were learning how to translate the enormously complex three-dimensional structure of the Earth into a virtual one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eComputer Graphics in Geology\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThree-Dimensional Computer Graphics in Modeling Geologic Structures and Simulating Geologic Processes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by Reinhard Pflug \u0026amp; John W.
