Mobile information technology offers a new perspective for the geosciences,
by providing ubiquitous access to environmental and geoscientific information. This information is often managed
by distributed geo-databases and methods libraries. Mobile available spatial
services will provide new solutions to the flexible capture, modification
and visualization of geo-objects directly in the terrain, i.e., during the field work of geologists
or geophysicists. The analysis of planning or geoscientific processes will then be supported on-line. This
vision can be accomplished by using mobile data acquisition, efficient geo-database management technology
and modern augmented reality methods within a geo-information infrastructure.
Mobile available spatial services will also contribute to a faster availability
of geo-nformation sources. In this contribution a
