Technical Requirements

We have produced two different versions of Understanding Geologic Time. The on-line version requires Internet access. The CD version works without Internet access, requiring only a CD-ROM player, web browser and a copy of the tour on CD-ROM. Hardware and software requirements listed below apply to either version.

Requirements:

A Javascript-enabled web browser.

PLEASE NOTE: Newer browsers, such as Firefox and Safari, are known to have problems with some of these pages. As of October 2005, your best browser option is probably Internet Explorer.
