Abstract:

Earlier this year MMG's Group Manager for Innovation & Geophysics, Roland Hill, made a small but influential splash amongst the Geoscience community with the release of his QGIS plug-in. QGIS is an open-source, cross-platform Geographic Information System. It's small CPU footprint and low RAM requirements makes it well suited to academic and professional applications alike, while it's availability in 48 languages makes QGIS ubiquitous amongst geoscientists world-wide. In short, it's a useful, versatile piece of software which MMG, and many companies like it, use daily. And that is exactly what makes Roland's contribution so important – it’s extremely useful. His plug-in already extended the use of the standard package and with this update, Geoscience for QGIS v1.0, user functionality is extended even further to allow creation and display of drill hole sections
