Top 10 Things to Remember About Field Notes
Top 10 Things to Remember About Field Notes
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
This Zoom Video Webinar will be recorded
As our profession swan-dives into the deep end of the technology pool it has been shedding many traditional tools such as plumb-bobs, steel tapes, chaining pins, and dip needles. However, a field book is a different story. Geared toward members of survey field crews, this webinar will identify the critical reasons that all field personnel should be carrying a traditional field book with them at all times. The speaker will also discuss the importance of putting in place a QA/QC process to make sure that all field information is captured in real time and preserved in its unedited form.
