Exploration and GIS: Closing the Productivity GapExploration and GIS: Closing the Productivity Gap

With discoveries harder to find, geoscientists are collecting more data than ever before and examining their findings with greater scrutiny. This article, by Geosoft's Carmela Burns, discusses integration between earth mapping platforms like Geosoft and ESRI's ArcGIS environments, and describes a case study at Brazil-based mining company Companhia Vale do Rio Doce.


Defence Geospatial Intelligence Middle East is the region’s first forum dedicated to the defence geospatial intelligence community.

_Compiled by Nora Parker, Senior Managing Editor.

Here's a website after my own heart. Reader Gil submitted MizPee, a website dedicated to helping you find a clean public potty when you need one. Simply enter an address, and nearby toilets are listed; you can map the results (sample of a highly rated toilet in Portland, OR, below). You can enter your own public bathroom data and reviews, and access the application from your cell phone - really useful! Select coverage in the US and Europe is available.
