You say you don’t want a revolution?
• Too bad. It is happening anyway.
• Take advantage of it
– Join the geoweb
– Share your data
– Actively collaborate with colleagues
– Meet expectations of students, colleagues, and funding
agencies
Improved collaboration, visualization, and data distribution will enrich our science.

Geologic Mapping as Metaphor
• Data Collection:
– digital photos, digital ink, gps, LiDAR
• Data Interpretation and Development:
– GIS, virtual globes
• Data distribution:
– Web publication, collaborative GIS, data
sharing
