The StraboSpot database and applications enable geologic data collection, storage, and sharing across scales and disciplines. StraboField and StraboMicro are designed to help Geologists collect data and integrate field data with laboratory (thin-section scale) observations and associated data. Both are designed to allow users to integrate images seamlessly into the database and attribute data flexibly. The data system was developed through community outreach workshops to establish vocabulary and data reporting needs and standards. The short course aims to introduce new users to StraboField and the StraboMicro application and help participants design and build projects for both research and teaching. The systems can be viewed at http://strabospot.org. This course is supported and sponsored by funds from StraboSpot.
