Support for a Workshop on Field Sampling in Geography; Cataline Island, California; March 1994

9322611沃尔科特 地貌学的进步完全取决于能否获得良好的野外资料。然而，设计和执行现场采样策略可能是一个复杂的过程，涉及到许多变量之间的相互作用。没有标准的教科书能够提供必要的洞察力进行复杂的数据收集地貌。该项目提供适度的支持，使12名博士生能够参加一个专门讨论如何更好地了解高质量数据收集过程的讲习班。学生们将加入一些专家在现场采样谁将提交论文，领导讨论，并在小组咨询。 该项目将对地貌学青年科学家的发展产生重大影响，为他们提供使用实地取样技术的高级培训。讲习班将为他们的论文研究提供直接援助，并将对他们未来研究的质量产生长期影响 *

9322611 WOLCOTT Progress in geomorphology rests squarely on the ability to obtain good field data. However, designing and carrying out field sampling strategies can be a complicated process involving interactions between a host of variables. No standard textbooks are able to provide the insight necessary to conduct complex data gathering in geomorphology. This project provides modest support to enable 12 doctoral students to participate in a workshop devoted to better understanding the process of high quality data collection. The students will be joined by a number of experts in field sampling who will present papers, lead discussions, and consult in small groups. This project will have a major impact on the development of young scientists in geomorphology by providing them with advanced training in the use of field sampling techniques. The workshop will provide direct assistance to the conduct of their dissertation research and will have a long-lasting impact on the quality of their future research ***
