The Geoscapes website offers numerous acrylic paintings of famous natural landmarks in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, the United States of America, the Cayman Islands, and other parts of Canada. Each painting is accompanied at the time of sale by a description summarizing how the landform was created and its historical significance. These paintings have a strong environmental theme and offer a fresh understanding of the origin of landscape features.

The website also provides information on a variety of projects, completed or currently underway, by a well known Canadian geologist, Dr. Murray A. Roed. Present subjects include two new geologic books. One is called "Okanagan Geology, British Columbia", a new edition published in 2004. This book replaces the popular and best-selling book "Geology of the City of Kelowna and Origin of the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia". Both of these books were published by the Kelowna Geology Committee. Profits are dedicated to the Kelowna Geology Committee Bursary at the University of British Columbia Okanagan; the current endowment totals $75,000. "Okanagan Geology" can be ordered rom Sandhill Book Marketing in Kelowna, phone 1-800-667-3848, email:info@sandhillbooks.com: Retail cost is $24.95 plus tax, available at local bookstores.

The other new book is entitled "Islands from the Sea, Geologic Stories of the Cayman Islands" by Murray A. Roed. This book is a popular account of the geology of the Caribbean Sea and specifically the Islands of Cayman. It was published by Cayman Free Press for the Cayman Islands and printed in Kelowna, BC. The book is distributed in Canada by Sandhill Book Marketing, and in Cayman by the Cayman Free Press.

A new book project is underway. This one is focused on the geology of the south Okanagan called "OKANAGAN GEOLOGY SOUTH, Geologic Highlights of the South Okanagan, British Columbia" printed in April 2011. Of special interest is the roadside geology of the major townsites in the valley. The book also provides a review of historical geologic exploration, geologic development of the south Okanagan, a summary of numerous mines, the most comprehensive account of geologic hazards for the area, groundwater and surface water use, and a special chapter on the terroir of wine related to geologic factors. Ten experts have contributed their time to produce this book. Profit from the book will again be endowed at Okanagan College and University of British Columbia Okanagan, with provision for a grant to the APEGBC Kelowna Scholarship Foundation. The book will be distributed in Canada by Sandhill Book Marketing of Kelowna.
