Workshop Basics of field expeditions

The workshop on the Basics of field expeditions will consist of talks on the planning, organisation, and management of expeditions to remote areas in different environments, including deserts, tropical forest, mountains, and others. We will present and discuss adequate protocols and tasks for the before, during and after the expedition. This will be a good opportunity for participants to get input on their expedition plans and engage on discussions about team, operations, and emergency management.
