The idea is dead simple: click anywhere on the map, and it scans your line of sight and renders all the mountains visible from that exact point in 3D.…

In my country there is a highly controversial geologist who is obsessed with diamonds. He constantly produces work about diamonds, yet he is the only one who ever sees them.…

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started studying geology, and while the theoretical concepts make sense on paper, I’m finding it challenging to transition into "thinking like a geologist" in the field.…

Between drillhole logging in MX Deposit (or Datamine), updating surface mapping/tenement boundaries in ArcGIS, and pushing collar/survey/interval updates into Leapfrog, keeping data in sync across all three is a persistent bottleneck.…
