[Qgis-user] QGIS Earth Sciences and Geology Support

[Grant Boxer]

I have been recently seeking support for the development of a drill hole 
and cross section plugin for QGIS, with particular application to the 
geological community in mineral exploration and mining. I have looked 
through the QGIS core contributers and contributers list and there does 
not seem to be a QGIS contributor that specialises in earth sciences - 
geology applications. Is this a marketing opportunity for someone? A big 
issue preventing many of the exploration companies taking up QGIS in 
Australia is the lack of the drill hole and geological modelling. This 
is probably also a factor in other regions as well. I know Oslandia has 
done some drill hole and geological work with their Albion plugin. Any 
recommendations appreciated.
