3D_GRASS

[Jaro Hofierka]

Dear GRASS users and programmers,

I would like to know whether GRASS has some 3D capabilities to analyse
and model 3D data (i.e.in the format x,y,z,w). There is a lot of
problems especially in geology and meteorology that cannot be solved
satisfactorily using 2D GIS. What state of the art is in GRASS? 
We have developed programs that can geometrically analyse such 
volume data - 3D gradients, curvatures, flowlines analogically as 
in the 2D case where these parameters are successfully used 
(e.g. in erosion modelling). Is there any interest in improving 
GRASS in this field?
Thanks

                                                       JARO
