Take a Virtual Field Trip

Join scientists from the Appalachian Laboratory as they conduct research and outreach. Click any picture below to take a virtual field trip. This feature contains interactive 360° images that require QuickTime, a free download. (It is likely you already have it.) Javascript must also be turned ON (default setting) in browser preferences. The field trips are fun but may take several seconds to load on slower systems.
