Author Description

This text gives students doing geography fieldwork projects guidance on careful planning and organization, and explains how to write final reports. It allows students to practice and learn appropriate fieldwork techniques and shows how to select and apply these skills in real investigations. Divided into six core topic areas, for each topic there is a trial run project for students to work through as an example of an actual fieldwork investigation. This is followed by a short project and an investigation that can be carried out, including techniques required, equipment needed and likely sources of information. Extra investigations and a full list of sources of information to help with projects are available on the accomanying website.
