Field structural geologists — what's your current iOS/tablet workflow, and what's missing?
I've been frustrated for a while with the gap between field collection (Clino, FieldMove, paper) and desktop analysis (Stereonet, FaultKin, OSXStereonet). Re-keying measurements, version mismatches between phone exports and desktop projects, no live look at what your data is telling you until you're back from the outcrop.
I've been building something to close that gap. iOS collection with a web stereonet and fault kinematic analysis and I'm at the point where I need eyes on it from other people who are actively working in this space
Genuinely looking for hard feedback, including "this is a worse version of X." A few things I'm specifically unsure about:
- whether live sync is actually useful in the field or just a cool demo
- whether the kinematic analysis output matches what you'd expect from FaultKin for typical fault populations
- what's broken about the apps you currently use that I haven't thought of
Mods: happy to remove if this crosses the self-promo line. Full disclosure, I'm the developer. If anyone wants to try it, reply here or DM me and I'll get you set up. If you could also provide some information on what kind of field work (academic/profession) you are doing that would help. Looking for a diverse group of opinions on this.
Stereonet and rose diagrams directly in the field. Sync to the web easily.
Measure Planes, Lines, both (fault with slickenline), or two lines to create a plane.
