Fieldwork Evidence Collection

Design effective data collection sheets for fieldwork execution.

Select appropriate locations for data gathering and establish robust control groups.

Justify sample sizes and the use of random, systematic, opportunistic, and stratified sampling techniques.

Operate fieldwork equipment, such as clinometers or quadrats, to obtain accurate and reliable measurements.

Collect quantitative data measuring flow, scale, spatial patterns, and temporal changes.

Gather qualitative data using questionnaires, bi-polar techniques, and annotated photographs or sketches.

Utilize secondary sources of evidence, including satellite images, aerial and oblique photographs, large statistical databases, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
