mass importing rasters

Martin,

Depending on what you are doing, you may want to consider the use of 
GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) in combination with R. This has been 
a successful strategy for me in the past, not using Geotiffs, however. 
The advantage is that the Geotiffs can be imported into GRASS GIS format 
in batch form and then using r.mapcalc within GRASS, nearly any map 
algebra calculations are possible without running into memory issues 
that you may encounter with R alone.

Regards,
Tom

a simple question:
how can I automatically import a huge bunch of rasters (Geotiffs) to R?
With a for loop? I didn't find how to do that in the docs..
Each variable name should be the original raster name, but that's not
important.

greets,
Martin
