Hi Hardy. In R you can use the function 'extract' from R package. This function return a list of coordinates their respective layers values. You must give the coordinates and layers as argument. In ArcGIS you can use this function, I guess: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=extract_values _to_points
