  • 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:

    1. Delineate the boundary of your study area
    2. Gather relevant open data available for your study area
    3. Digitize points of interest to visit in the field
    4. Create field maps with a coordinate grid
    5. Perform a desk study and make a planning for the fieldwork
    6. 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.
    • There are different tools in QGIS that you can use for stream and catchment delineation: SAGA, GRASS, WhiteBoxTools, PCRaster, etc. Currently the most robust approach is to use the PCRaster Tools plugin.
