"Fieldwork is often an essential component to acquire reference data for calibration and validation of the remotely sensed observations. This course provides skills and techniques to plan, execute and report on field observations. The course starts with an introduction to in-situ field measurement devices and lab equipment, and demonstrates standard operational procedures when analysing samples in the laboratory. Subsequently, students have to design their own field data collection based on a self-defined objective, e.g. which parameters are required and how to conduct sampling, which instruments are required, how to measure, sampling procedures and storing of samples. Considering focus group interviews how to prepare the questionnaires and review of ethical considerations. Another element would be the timing related to eventual satellite overpass or image acquisition in the terrain and collection of available information from installed in-situ measuring devices. \n\nBeing well prepared, a 3 day fieldwork is envisaged for practical collecting data in a fieldwork area with participants from multiple disciplines: water, natural and earth resources. \n\nOnce back, the data collected has to be analysed in the lab or subject to further processing. In the end, students are required to present their results obtained and have to report on the procedures applied, reflect on the quality of obtained results, and describe their analysis conducted into more detail.

However, the adoption of Web 2.0 technologies facilitates the generation and sharing of and collaboration on digital content with a geospatial component, and has therefore expanded possibilities and practice. This course gives an overview of its history and new developments, on examples of successful and unsuccessful projects to identify criteria for sustainable crowdsourcing or volunteering, including issues of privacy and ethical research. It is particularly relevant for eliciting and arguing the needs, interests, and positions of any stakeholder that incorporates or directly works with the public. A main focus lies on the technologies that enable new forms of participatory sensing, and techniques to assess and improve the quality of such data. "@en .
