The Visual Geophysical Exploration Environment (VGEE) is an electronic learning environment for introductory undergraduate geoscience courses that enables students to use contemporary visualization techniques to investigate geophysical phenomena and engage in scientific inquiry. The VGEE has four principal components:

1. A 5D visualization tool
2. Authentic data sets tailored to student investigation
3. A set of java-based tools students can use as probes in the visualization environment to support inquiry activities
4. Accompanying tutorials that assist students in understanding the fundamental geoscience principles
