The time in the field is limited and fieldwork is expensive. A proper preparation before going on fieldwork is essential to achieve the research objectives given the limited time and resources available in the field.
After this course you're able to:
- Delineate the boundary of your study area
 - Gather relevant open data available for your study area
 - Digitize points of interest to visit in the field
 - Create field maps with a coordinate grid
 - Perform a desk study and make a planning for the fieldwork
 - Create a field data collection app
 
We'll use QGIS for the preparation of GIS data and field maps. Mergin and Input are used for developing a field data collection app. - Delineate the boundary of your study area
