Bringing theory into practice, one landscape at a time
In Part 2, students step out of the classroom and into real-world ecosystems to apply the skills they have learned. This immersive fieldwork experience connects scientific theory with the realities of resource management on the ground.
Activities include:
- Site visits to farms, forests, conservation areas, and water bodies
- Mapping using GPS and drone technology
- Sampling of soils, plants, and water for analysis
- Interviews and interactions with local stakeholders and resource users
Methods:
Participants work in small teams, conduct field labs, gather real data, and practice field techniques critical for environmental monitoring and research.
Skills developed:
- Data collection protocols and standards
- Field data interpretation and initial analysis
- Teamwork and field leadership
