Field Survey ManagementManagement and research of natural resources is inherently is tied to information needed from the physical world. There is an art and a science to collecting and managing field data in a way that assures high quality, is efficient, scientifically valid, legally defensible, and
useful in the long term. Assuring that data is obtained properly from fieldwork is critical, because that information is the basis for later analysis, management decisions, and resource protection. This course teaches applied skills for managing field projects and staff, conducting fieldwork and collecting data, or using data collected outside of an office or lab for analysis and management. This course is taught with natural resources examples, such as wildlife and vegetation, however the skills will have broader applicability. This course would be complemented by a course in field methods, but does not cover the same topics. |
