FaultKin Mobile for Android

11 things about FaultKin Mobile

1. - 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.

2. In particular, recall that your iOS device is very sensitive to magnetic fields and the compass bearings can easily be off by 10-20°! This program should not be used as a sole source of navigation data.

3. The author assumes no responsibility for incorrect results, unanticipated behaviors, loss resulting from results provided by the program, or any other anticipated or unanticipated event related to the program.

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

5. FaultKin Mobile is designed to help you collect, visualize, and analyze fault slip data on the go.

6. It is a companion to my FaultKin program for desktop computers, but it can also be used to measure faults on the outcrop.

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

8. The desktop version of FaultKin will soon be updated so that it can read and write FaultKin Mobile files, which are simple tab separated text files.

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

10. - Stamp each entry with time date and, if enabled by the user, location.

11. For example, you may want to have a tag labeled "Corral Quemado-Older" and anther "Corral Quemado-Younger".
