## Description

Collect, map, and analyse coastal data directly on your iPhone

Coastal Fieldwork is a powerful field data collection and analysis tool designed for geography teachers and students conducting coastal investigations. The app uses built-in iPhone capabilities to support common coastal fieldwork methods while automatically mapping and organising the data you collect.
Ideal for GCSE, A-level, and university fieldwork, Coastal Fieldwork helps students record reliable measurements, capture site evidence, and analyse results directly in the field.

Capture Fieldwork Data with Your iPhone

Coastal Fieldwork uses the sensors and tools built into your iPhone to support authentic geographical investigation.
Record and map:
Geolocated field measurements using latitude and longitude

Site photographs captured during fieldwork

Sediment sample size and roundness observations

Rock identification using camera-based tools such as Google Lens

Wave counts using a built-in timer

Longshore drift experiments

Beach groyne observations comparing updrift and downdrift sediment levels

Beach sediment infiltration rates
Every data point is automatically linked to its location and mapped, allowing you to see your results spatially as you collect them.

Built-In Fieldwork Tools
The app includes a range of tools designed specifically for coastal investigations:
Clinometer tool using iPhone motion sensors to support longshore drift experiments

Wave count timer for coastal process studies

AR measurement tools using Apple ARKit to measure sand height differences around groynes

Geolocated data collection with automatic mapping

Photo capture and documentation tools
Bibliography Builder - scan book ISBN barcodes with the iPhone camera to add to Bibliography

This allows students to complete multiple coastal fieldwork techniques using a single device.

Analyse Your Data in the Field
Coastal Fieldwork doesn’t just collect data, it helps you interpret it.
Within the app you can:
View annotated maps of all fieldwork sites

Compare measurements across locations

Review observations, photos, and measurements together

Identify emerging patterns in your data
On devices that support Apple Intelligence, the app can also examine your collected data in relation to your enquiry question and hypotheses, providing additional insights to support analysis.

Export Your Investigation
When your fieldwork is complete, you can export your results for further analysis or assessment.
Export options include:
CSV files for use with GIS software such as ArcGIS

Structured reports including:
Enquiry question
Hypotheses
Methodology
Data presentation
Data analysis
Includes NEA Superbutton - Create a draft template of your NEA incorporating your enquiry question and hypotheses and all your collected data.
This makes it easy for students to transform field data into a complete geographical investigation report.

Designed for Education
Coastal Fieldwork is ideal for:
GCSE Geography fieldwork

A-level Geography investigations

Undergraduate coastal geography field courses

Teachers organising coastal field trips

Students conducting independent enquiries

By combining field measurement tools, mapping, photography, and analysis in one app, Coastal Fieldwork helps students focus on geographical enquiry rather than paperwork.

Turn your iPhone into a complete coastal fieldwork toolkit.
