"This book is unique in addressing the less-discussed aspects of fieldwork including âe soft skills' such as communication, planning and logistics as well as basic technical skills used in environmental research. While training and standard operating procedures are available for the latter category, little support is given to students and early career researchers regarding the former, despite their importance. This book attempts to address this knowledge gap and further, could be used as a support to graduate and undergraduate field courses and modules"-- Provided by publisher.
