Geology Evolves with Technology, Shouldn’t you?

Exclusively paper geoscience is over
Web 2.0 and the ‘geoweb’
Mapping as unifying geo-foundation
Simple tools to complex tools
More geologists need to get on board
Spread the word (online, maybe?)

Ease of Compilation
Digitizing lines is drawing ‘final’ lines
Enhanced Contextual Experience
For compilers, reviewers, and users
Collaboration / Interactivity
Share your desktop with your colleagues,
share your data with the world

Web 2.0 is a concept The application of web-based services for
interactive and collaborative purposes
▪ Wikis
▪ Blogs
▪ Social bookmarking
▪ Collaborative mapping / GIS
Requires rethinking some basic tenets
![Page 9: Geofroth at AGU 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55497da2b4c905c26a8b4580/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Is it Relevant? Ask your kids and students.

Data availability and data sharing
Dynamic, collaborative input (peer review proxy)
Science community standards (via consensus)
Idea development, dissemination, and discovery
Enhance communication

Instant geospatial gratification. Allows for descriptive commenting from invited viewers or anyone. Great potential for online collaboration.

[Exclusively] paper geology is
becoming irrelevant
Geoscientists need to participate more
in the ‘Geoweb’ and share more data
There are simple tools available for this
We need better examples to motivate
