Digital field book for geosciences (original) (raw)

2017

Abstract

In this study we present a mobile application for geoscience. It refers to a digital field book for automating data collection and outcrop/core description, and optimizing the final data processing. Sensors were developed for semi-automatic data collection, real time calculations, measurements of dip angles and dip directions, geographic location, among others. Field tests were performed comparing the traditional method with the proposed digital method. The preliminary results show a good acceptance of the mobile application by geoscientists and an improvement in the time required to perform data collection. Field tests are still going on and the complete results will be used to improve the development of this important tool in geoscience field work.
