FaultKin Mobile

FaultKin Mobile is designed to help you collect, visualize, and analyze fault slip data on the go. It is a companion to my FaultKin program for desktop computers, but it can also be used to measure faults on the outcrop. The app has the following features:

  • Provide automatic data entry as a geologist's compass by reading the iOS device orientation and converting it to strike and dip of planes and/or trend and plunge of lines.

  • Provide manual data entry via either tapping and dragging on the stereonet or by typing values into text fields

  • Groups of faults can be assigned different tags. You will probably want to do this based on location or other criteria. For example, you may want to have a tag labeled "Corral Quemado-Older" and anther "Corral Quemado-Younger".

  • Carry out basic calculations such as: rotations about any axis, unfolding faults around local bedding, or measure angles between lines and between planes

  • Plot P & T axes, (unweighted) moment tensor axes, P-T dihedra, fault plane solutions, and contour P & T axes.

  • View the plots from any orientation, not just looking straight down into the lower hemisphere

  • Stamp each entry with time date and, if enabled by the user, location. See the location of a datum in the iOS Maps program

  • Provide basic input and output of data using standard iOS conventions

  • Work on both iPhones or iPads, both in portrait mode only.
