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

The uncanny obviousness of geotagging your field photographs
• You are a geologist.
• You take pictures of things because of what
they are and where they are.
• It is simple to add location to photos.
• Start tomorrow.

Dude…not geotagging your field photos is stupid. It just is.
Everyone’s busy….just take an hour to figure it out.

GeoWeb 2.0: Collaborative Research
• Geology thrives on collaboration
• Attachments and e-mail threads are inefficient
• Geologists are widely dispersed
• Huge research, teaching outreach potential
• Meets rising tide of expectations
