StraboField

From outcrop to insight.

Go beyond digital mapping with data that stays organized, shareable, and scientifically meaningful.

StraboField Application Overview

StraboField Highlights

Work offline

Work offline. Record everything. Never lose context.

Collect field observations as points, lines, and polygons with photos, notes, sketches, measurements, and orientations. Even in areas with no connectivity.

Nest observations from outcrop to sample

Nest observations from outcrop to sample.

Use StraboField’s hierarchical Spot system to capture geology across scales. Preserve spatial and conceptual relationships between observations, exactly how geologists think.

Sync, share, and continue your research

Sync, share, and continue your research.

Sync your field data to StraboSpot to search, edit, share, and connect it with lab observations and microstructures in StraboMicro. Your fieldwork becomes part of a living research dataset.

Structured data designed for science

Structured data designed for science.

StraboField supports diverse geoscience workflows: structural geology, sedimentology, volcanology field work. All with controlled vocabularies, and FAIR-aligned data practices.

Work with any basemap

Work with any basemap.

Use built-in or custom basemaps, downloadable for offline fieldwork.

Georeferenced notes and sketches

Georeferenced notes and sketches.

Capture photos, sketches, and notes tied to exact field locations.

Tag and search your observations

Tag and search your observations.
