Every academic year, a new batch of MSc students experiences the fieldwork outings and the several activities that are part of our educational programmes.
First-hand data collection
By visiting the field, students learn how to obtain data for training and validation.
In the field, students make different types of judgements and measurements of the environmental context; from the landscape, the soil type, the vegetation, land use and human factor...
For that reason, NRM teachers consider self-collecting data as one of the best ways to get a deeper understanding of the dataset.
