Core Operational Modules
Precision tools engineered for systematic geological field documentation
Traverse Management Grid
Visualize sample collection progress across multiple field sites using color-coded status matrices. Track delivered specimens, work-in-progress classifications, and items awaiting laboratory confirmation in unified crosscheck tables.
Rock Classification Engine
Systematically identify igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic specimens through structured observation recording. Select from comprehensive reference catalogue spanning granite to basalt, sandstone to gneiss, with expected property matching.
Confidence Scoring Algorithms
Real-time validation compares field observations against established rock type parameters. Percentage-based agreement metrics highlight classification certainty, while gap analysis reveals incomplete observation sets requiring additional testing.
Conflict Detection Protocol
Automated inconsistency flagging identifies contradictory observations within sample records. Pink status indicators surface mismatched hardness readings, color discrepancies, or mineral assemblage conflicts before final report compilation.
Coordinate Capture System
Record sample locations in decimal degrees or degrees-minutes format with elevation data. Map visualization plots collection sites with pinch-zoom navigation, supporting remote quarry benches, river fords, and scree slope documentation.
Dossier Report Builder
Compile structured field reports integrating GPS metadata, sample counts, section tallies, and confidence metrics. Export finalized documentation for academic submission or professional geological survey archives.
Architectural Implementation Details
Understanding the systematic methodology behind Geotreky field operations
Offline-First Data Architecture
Geotreky executes complete field recording workflows without network dependency. Local storage persists all observations, classifications, and site metadata directly on the iOS device. Geological surveys proceed uninterrupted in remote locations including underground quarry benches, mountain traverses, and coastal exposures lacking cellular coverage.
Validation Through Reference Matching
The integrated rock catalogue maintains expected property profiles for each lithological type. When you record color, hardness, texture, and mineral observations, the confidence engine calculates percentage agreement against the named rock standard. Scores below threshold trigger review prompts, ensuring classification accuracy before laboratory correlation.
Sample Provenance Chain Management
Configurable numbering sequences with alphanumeric prefixes establish unique identifiers for hand specimens. GPS coordinates, collection timestamps, site names, and strata position link each sample to precise field context. The system prevents duplicate marks and maintains sequential integrity across multi-day traverses spanning dozens of collection points.

Operational Workflow Mechanics
Step-by-step field recording methodology and laboratory integration process
Field Collection Protocol
- Navigate to Ground tab and establish new site with GPS coordinates and elevation reading
- Document site cover type using visual diagrams representing roofed faces, boulder fields, or gravel cliffs
- Collect hand specimens and assign sequential sample marks with configured prefix system
- Record strata position within geological cross-section visualization showing layered formations
- Perform initial rock class selection between igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic categories
- Complete color grid selection representing fresh surface appearance across twelve standard options
- Execute scratch test and record Mohs hardness value on calibrated horizontal scale chart
Laboratory Verification Sequence
- Access Assay tab to view work queue listing samples awaiting mineral analysis completion
- Review confidence percentage bars indicating agreement between field observations and expected properties
- Investigate conflict badges flagging inconsistencies such as hardness mismatches or color discrepancies
- Consult Reference catalogue for detailed mineral assemblage data and physical characteristic profiles
- Adjust rock type classification if laboratory results contradict initial field identification
- Monitor crosscheck grid in Traverse view tracking delivered specimens versus in-progress analyses
- Compile finalized Dossier report integrating GPS metadata, sample counts, and confidence metrics for export
Development Philosophy
Geotreky emerged from recognizing the gap between traditional paper field notebooks and sophisticated laboratory information management systems. Geologists required structured digital recording that functioned in network-absent environments while maintaining the rigor of professional survey methodology.
The design prioritizes systematic observation capture over freeform note-taking. Color-coded validation feedback guides users toward complete, consistent sample documentation. The offline architecture acknowledges field reality where quarries, remote outcrops, and underground sites lack connectivity yet demand immediate data capture accuracy.
