Hi Geoff et al - Following up on Geoff's great news last month re: this release. I shared the link with one of our profs here at the Trent School of the Environment and he mentioned to me this week that he'd like to consider developing some related open ancillary resources. Does anyone know if colleagues at Dalhousie or elsewhere might have any in progress? I'll keep in touch either way as plans progress. Thanks!
