Master Digital Field Mapping

Learn: Geological Mapping with QField & QGIS

Map with the same attention to detail as paper, now fully digitised in the field.

Digital field mapping has come a long way recently. Learn how we use QField and QGIS to conduct all our field mapping, using a ready to go template and suite of tools developed and tested over the past few years.

These techniques allow you to spend more time thinking about the geology, with less time spent double handling data.

Improved speed in the field translates to more outcrop seen, and rapid turnaround on sharing observations and developing interpretations.

  • Designed to take you from a QField/QGIS novice, to digital mapping expert. This course covers everything you need to know from setting up a mapping project, collecting geological data in the field, to professional map production.

    The course is currently in development stage - it has all the information and tools needed to get you mapping, with future additions to build on topics in much more detail.

  • Included with the course is a ready to use mapping template that we have been testing and upgrading over the past three years. Designed for detailed structural, lithological and alteration mapping, plus sampling.

    Along with this, we have built a QGIS plugin to work alongside the mapping template. This includes tools for;

    • Setting mapping scales

    • Managing and adding data

    • Georeferencing field photos

    • Stereonet analysis

    • Map production

    • Customisation tools to modify the template to your own project specific needs

  • The course is currently in development stage - it has all the information and tools needed to get you mapping.

    This course will be gradually expanded with useful QGIS and QField tips and tricks that we use everyday
