关于客户
Green Mountain College is an educational institution that uses geologic mapping to study, explore, and evaluate many environmental issues in Vermont. The college focuses on a variety of issues from characterizing groundwater resources, to evaluating landslide susceptibility, to characterizing the impacts of storm events like Tropical Storm Irene. The college has been trying to streamline their traditional mapping techniques over the last decade by moving from an inexpensive consumer grade Garmin, to the Trimble GeoXT and the Trimble Juno, to Collector for ArcGIS running on an iPad mini.
挑战
Green Mountain College was facing challenges in streamlining their traditional mapping techniques which involved the use of paper maps, a field notebook, camera, and handheld GPS. Over the years, they tried different technologies including an inexpensive consumer grade Garmin, the Trimble GeoXT and the Trimble Juno, to Collector for ArcGIS running on an iPad mini. However, many of these options still required paper maps, external camera or additional software to create data dictionaries. The college was in need of a solution that could combine all the needs of traditional mapping within a single interface.
解决方案
The college tested Fulcrum while mapping the surficial geology of Monkton, Vermont and found that it combines all the needs of traditional mapping within a single interface. The browser-based Fulcrum interface allows for easy creation and management of a database with required fields and visibility rules that can control input and maintain data consistency across multiple users. This means that state surveys, consulting firms, and students working on group projects can save time at the end of a project by not having to merge data with different field names, formation abbreviations, etc. In addition to keeping data structure consistent, users are able to add their own layers and download them for offline use. This is one of the most useful tools in Fulcrum for geologic mapping because you can include any map you would normally carry in paper format and visualize field relationships across multiple overlays.
运营影响
  • The use of Fulcrum has streamlined the process of geologic mapping for Green Mountain College. It has eliminated the need for additional software, thus saving time at the end of a project by not having to merge data with different field names, formation abbreviations, etc.
  • Fulcrum allows users to add their own layers and download them for offline use. This feature is particularly useful for geologic mapping as it allows the inclusion of any map that would normally be carried in paper format and visualizing field relationships across multiple overlays.
  • The use of Fulcrum has also provided an alternative to less intuitive GIS or GPS software for students, allowing them to focus on what type of data should be collected and how to create an app that requires users to comply with their data requirements.
