aFieldWork

This app for collecting information’s about geological localities in the field.

This application has been develop at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.

Send a mail to [email protected] and be invited to the aFieldWork Google+ group and get access to demo data and more informations about the app.

The main objectives with the system are to provide field geologists working out of small field camps in harsh and remote areas, such as in Greenland, with a quick and efficient way of:

1 recording information on a geological localites in a digital format,

2 visualizing existing digital geodata on maps in the field,

3 enabling and securing a consistent way of reporting data (i.e. consistent descriptions and classification schemes for geological features such as rocks, structures etc.), and

4 allowing for the data to be quickly and efficiently transferred into the central databases and GIS environments once out of the field.

The app allows users to collect information’s about localities, earth materials, samples, structural measurements and photos. Data can be shown on an off-line tile based map. The map can show different tile maps and spatial data stored in a SpatiaLite database as well as content of ShapeFiles. The app - though still under development – has been used during fieldwork in Greenland in 2012 – 2013.
