An Incremental Approach For Teaching Field Mapping Using Rugged Tablet Computers & GIS Paul Umhoefer (Instructor) Professor of Geology Mark Manone (Technical leader) Geospatial Research & Information Lab Geology Program, School of Earth Sciences & Environmental Sustainability Northern Arizona University

GLG Advanced Field Geology – 6 credits {Introductory Field Methods – 2 credits} Capstone Geology course: Class of students (all NAU); 1 prof in each of 4 projects; 1 TA in each project Spring semester class: *** 2 projects in semester (long weekends) *** 2 projects in classic summer style in May review basic field methods (despite Intro Field Methods class) mix of traditional advanced mapping and field methods always include one hydro – geomorphology project included tablet computer component for the last 8 years

Incremental approach to GIS - digital mapping… {obvious now, but took us 4-5 years to figure out} typically 3 exercises Exercise 1 – ONLY in lab Previewing the field area with air photos & images; getting to know your map area & data preliminary map… Exercise 2 – ONLY in lab; Preview map again in lab; Georeference a traditional field map; edit and digitize geologic features in GIS produce a final digital map Exercise 3 – in lab and field; Preview map again in lab; Complete digital map in a GIS with Rugged tablet computers & GPS Exercise 4 – return to traditional mapping…. OR Optional mapping with tablets

Project 1 - preview in lab only

Project 1

Project 2 - traditional mapping in field

GIS map on air photo base Project 2

Project 3 - dive into Tablets in field…

BUT are students ready to dive in to full blown Tablet computer mapping?? some are not… We added a short (one afternoon) on-campus mapping project with tablet computers, so basic use of tablets Is familiar in field Project 3

Collecting hydrogeologic data… Project 3

Tertiary Paleozoic Quaternary Use fairly simple area & non-mapping data collecting with tablets Project 3

Use tablets for Note taking Project 3

Stay at Rural Bed & Breakfast Within field area electricity for charging good evening work conditions Pick logistically Simple location Project 3

B & B Project 3

Assessment – Professional Assessors at NAU Students split on if using field based GIS is positive 5 yes, 3 neutral, 5 no Students positive on using GIS to make final map versus hand drawn map 8 yes, 3 neutral, 2 no Students very positive about using GIS to preview and recon field areas 13 yes Some students complained about Logistics & computer problems with field-based GIS

Conclusions: Tablet computers work well… But (for us) only after incremental approach was used; Keep it simple; provide easy logistics; extra instructors Former students have used GIS & tablets in many jobs.
