IceFieldLog

IceFieldLog is a mobile + web app for scientists and field crews working in tundra and polar regions who need reliable data capture when connectivity is poor or nonexistent. It provides structured templates for common observations (permafrost thaw depth, snowpack, wildlife sightings, vegetation plots, water quality), GPS-tagged photos, and time-stamped notes that sync automatically when a connection returns. The app exports clean datasets (CSV/GeoJSON) compatible with common research workflows and includes basic QA checks to reduce bad entries (range checks, required fields, duplicate detection). It’s not trying to “predict climate” or replace established models; it’s a practical tool to reduce lost data, messy spreadsheets, and post-trip transcription. An optional AI assistant can suggest standardized labels for photos and flag inconsistent entries, but the core value works without AI and without internet.
