While training and standard operating procedures are available for the latter category, little support is given to students and early career researchers regarding the former, despite their importance. This book attempts to address this knowledge gap and further, could be used as a support to graduate and undergraduate field courses and modules"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aASA, CSSA, and SSSA Bks. 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xResearch$xMethodology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a363.700721 700 $aVero$b Sara E.$01218787 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910555097603321 996 $aFieldwork ready$92818401 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01047nam a2200265 a 4500 001 991002943389707536 008 160503s2015 it b 000 0 ita d 020 $a9788892102859 035 $ab14257956-39ule_inst 040 $aBibl.
