Field protocols and training

Oikobit can support the design or revision of a monitoring protocol, produce practical training materials, design and implement the checks that connect field forms to analytical datasets, and select and train staff on site. The work is scoped to a specific program and its collaborators.

Gabriel Arellano has developed and implemented field protocols, trained field crews, and worked with 100+ technicians and students across many tropical research sites. Gabriel, and other contributors to Oikobit, have many years of accumulated work in the field and with voucher collecting and processing. Gabriel's ForestGEO tree mortality and damage protocol, as well as his other protocol on the use of temporary plots in tropical forests, illustrate the link between a scientific question, observable field categories and data suitable for later analysis.
