Short summary
Short summary
Virtual 3D models are becoming fundamental to support field-based geoscience, with drones and image-based modelling providing rapid workflows for generating 3D datasets for mapping and education. Here, we present V3Geo, a cloud-based repository to facilitate 3D model searching, reuse, sharing and visualisation. We highlight the potential value of V3Geo for the geoscience community with examples of scenarios in publication and teaching where the repository is already being employed.

Short summary
Natural events like earthquakes provide an opportunity for geoscientists to communicate Earth science with the public. YouTube has a large number of users, but little is known about how YouTube videos on natural events engage and communicate geoscience to the public. Our results show that timely videos about geologic events in the news better engage younger and more diverse audiences to be interested in Earth science and stimulates more meaningful dialogues with certain YouTube users.
Natural events like earthquakes provide an opportunity for geoscientists to communicate Earth...
