Marble is cool thing, but could be a useful for scientist if :

 DEM : Digital Elevation Model could be imported into database (by the user) and some piece of analysis tools could be available for some studies. I am thinking about draping data onto this DEM (useful for geology or geophysics). Have a profile tool (user can draw a path onto data and then get the elevation profile, and why not the slope profile...

Anyways, I see a lot of implications if marble could offer that. Because it will open doors of GIS (Geographical Information System). Adding some measurement tools (like, length, area, perimeters...) could be extremely useful and will makes Marble a lot more that a globe viewer (which is fancy but not more). 

Thank you for your consideration.
