[Rockhounds] Shut down laboratories bring science to a cold stop.

[Tim Fisher]

If you aren't already fluent in ARC Gis (or even if you are) you might want to check out Manifold, I switched over to it 18 years ago and it's a tremendous time saver, incredibly fast, exports to ARC files, has way better graphics, and is much more intuitive and relatively fast to learn. They have a wonderful user forum and if you can't find an answer in 10,000 posts there probably isn't one :D Plus it's cheaper by $100s since you own it, and don't have to pay $100/yr. for the right to use it.

This article talks mainly about medical and biological resource, but the pandemic also has shut down geological, including some of mine, research cold also. Will use an entire field season. The crash in the price of oil also will disrupt and end geological research also.
This is a major event in science.

Fortunately, I am able to get Global Mapper and ArcGIS to work on my home computer so I have soemthing to wok on with finishing a couple of planned papers.

Yours,
