Abstract

Smartphones can be utilized in the field of geosciences for various purposes due to their multifaceted abilities that combine both hard- and software features. The unique abilities of smartphones allow new methodologies for the collection and visualization of data that rarely become available in traditional computing platforms. In this study, commercially available smartphone applications (apps) that have been released in geoscience (e.g., geology/soil, minerals and rocks, petroleum and gas) so far were investigated. The apps were categorized based on the extent of smartphone feature usage into (a) basic, standard-feature apps; (b) calculator and referencing apps; and (c) sensing and communication apps. Furthermore, each of these categories was divided into several app groups based on specific features. Representative apps of each specific app group were selected and their characteristics and applicability were examined. Lastly, major limitations regarding smartphone app development and implementation in geoscience and implications for future improvements were discussed.
