Getting out in the field as a skill

Fieldwork is an essential component for many in the geosciences, and it provides opportunity for gaining skills in everything from temporal and spatial reasoning to organization, planning and preparation. There are many challenges associated with fieldwork, including physical, economical, managerial, and legal. This workshop will provide a panel discussion on the challenges, benefits, and strategies to being successful at planning, leading, and completing fieldwork in a variety of settings. The workshop is co-sponsored by ESWN, the Association for Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), and AGU Education.
