Happy New year everyone. We've just released a new product in our Move for digital mapping. FieldMove is specifically designed for geologists with all the stuff we do in the traditional field-slip and notebook. I've been having fun playing with the pre-release versions in the area where I did my undergraduate mapping and this old recidivist is totally hooked - not least because you don't have to keep the paper dry! Back at base in the evening the day's mapping goes straight into Move with all the 3d visualisation, subsurface and analysis tools. http://www.mve.com/software/fieldmove http://www.mve.com/academic Academic licences are free for teaching and research. If you are not yet one of the 200 universities in our ASI program contact [log in to unmask] If you already include digital mapping in your course we'd like to hear from you. This year we are launching a new program for young geo-scientists who graduate from one of our ASI program universities. This will give them a personal Move software licence free for 12 months so they can prepare papers, or presentations to help them get that first job. If they are smart entrepreneurs they might even earn a bit of money with it! I'll post formal details of the scheme soon but thought you might all like a heads-up on the scheme.
