Hey fieldworkers! Do you need documentation (health & safety protocols, codes of conduct, feedback forms)?
Do you have documentation that you think could help others do better fieldwork, but don’t know where to share it?
We’ve got you covered in our new Fieldwork Repo!

This is new from scientists in my department: economic data from 300 households and 15 years of forestry/climate records. Really trying to do both the human and the ecology in human ecology.

hmmm I wonder if there are any fields of study that focus on people as they go about their lives... 🤔https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01957-z
