A role for virtual outcrop models in blended learning – improved 3D thinking and positive perceptions of learning

Clare E. Bond, Adam J. Cawood · 19 Apr 2021

Abstract. Virtual outcrop models are increasingly used in geoscience education to supplement field-based learning but their efficacy for teaching key 3D spatial thinking skills has been little tested. With the rapid increase in online digital learning resources and blended learning, most recently because of the global COVID-19 pandemic, understanding the role of virtual field environments…

Rapid collaborative knowledge building via Twitter after significant geohazard events

Robin Lacassin, Maud H. Devès, Stephen Hicks et al. · 15 May 2020

Abstract. Twitter is an established social media platform valued by scholars as an open way to disseminate scientific information and to publicly discuss research results. Scientific discussions on Twitter are viewed by the media, who can then pass on information to the wider public. Social media is used widely by geoscientists, but there is little…

Can seasonal hydrological forecasts inform local decisions and actions? A decision-making activity

Jessica Neumann, Louise Arnal, Rebecca Emerton et al. · 6 Dec 2018

Abstract. While this paper has a hydrological focus (a glossary of terms highlighted by asterisks in the text is included in Appendix A), the concept of our decision-making activity will be of wider interest and applicable to those involved in all aspects of geoscience communication. Seasonal hydrological forecasts (SHF) provide insight into the river and…

Creative practice as a tool to build resilience to natural hazards in the Global South

Anne F. Van Loon, Imogen Lester-Moseley, Melanie Rohse et al. · 23 Dec 2020

Abstract. Global South communities are increasingly exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards such as floods and droughts. Preparing for future hazards requires developing an idea of an uncertain future, thinking out of the box for possible solutions, enhancing communication between diverse groups, and instigating organisational and behavioural change. In this study, we explore whether art…

Virtual field trips utilizing virtual outcrop: construction, delivery and implications for the future

Jessica H. Pugsley, John Howell, Adrian J. Hartley et al. · 20 Jul 2022

Abstract. The advent of photorealistic, 3D computer models of cliff sections (virtual outcrops) has improved the immersive nature of virtual geological field trips. As the COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread national and international travel restrictions, virtual field trips (VFTs) became practical and essential substitutes for traditional field trips and accelerated the development of VFTs based…

Geoscience Communication template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Geoscience Communication format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Geoscience Communication template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Copernicus Publications format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Geoscience Communication use?
Geoscience Communication uses Author–year (Copernicus) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., and Lee, C.: A representative article title, Geoscience Communication, 12, 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Geoscience Communication?
No. DocuGuru generates the copernicus LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Copernicus Publications-ready Geoscience Communication document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Geoscience Communication template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Geoscience Communication format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Geoscience Communication?
Copernicus Publications journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by Copernicus Publications.
Can I export a submission-ready Geoscience Communication PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Geoscience Communication template (the copernicus class) that is ready to submit to Copernicus Publications, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
