Participants were immersed in a comprehensive exploration of how BGS harnesses remote sensing data, including LiDAR terrain models and InSAR ground motion data, to map geological features across the UK. They were introduced to GeoVisionary, BGS's 3D mapping software, which offers geologists a dynamic platform for interpreting data in a virtual environment. Hands-on sessions allowed attendees to engage directly with the software, conducting interpretations and analyses for areas within the Peak District.

The culmination of the training involved a field trip to the Curbar Edge sandstone escarpment, a renowned geological site frequented by tourists. Here, participants witnessed firsthand the seamless integration of virtual and real-world fieldwork techniques employed by BGS. Additionally, the visit extended to the BGS drill core repository and sample archive, providing valuable insights into the organisation's comprehensive approach to geological research and preservation.

Throughout the event, participants gained a deeper understanding of remote monitoring data principles, drone capabilities, and the practical application of GeoVisionary for fieldwork preparation. By leveraging the software's features, such as elevation model analysis, they honed their skills in identifying and mapping geological formations, laying the groundwork for future field expeditions.

The EGT-TWINN project continues to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, paving the way for innovative approaches to geological exploration and research. As participants return to their respective roles, they carry with them newfound expertise and perspectives, poised to contribute to the advancement of geological science and exploration endeavors.
