Tephrabase: A Mobile Application

In this paper, a methodology is derived to create a mobile GIS field tool from a desktop web service. This process uses the information from within Tephrabase, a database of tephra deposit information, to create a field tool for tephra researchers in Iceland. The data for tephra deposits within Icel...
