BLS161C-1 - ELEMENTS OF FIELD WORK (2024 Batch)

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100
Credits:3

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

Elements of Fieldwork is designed as a course that equips undergraduates for fieldwork relevant to research in life sciences. It aims to expose students to the rigours of fieldwork and teach some of the general methods used by field researchers not only in life sciences, but also ecology and geography. In that sense, the stress is on a broad interdisciplinary understanding of field, and practical knowledge to undertake outdoor research.

The course is divided into five units, each comprising an element of nature – earth, water, fire (energy), air and sky (space). Together they expose students to different aspects of the environment. Earth is all about different terrains and their role in supporting biodiversity. The classes will include understanding different geographical features such as forests, rocky surfaces, wetlands, built-up spaces and drylands - through remote sensing images, maps and field observation. Water looks at  different forms and types of water, their significance to life, and water conservation. Fire deals with conventional and renewable energy sources -  starting from sunlight. Wind looks at wind flow, measurement, wind energy and effects of wind on the environment. Sky is all about understanding, mapping and  measuring space and planning its use in nature conservation. The field activities will include observation of  local weather, and an appreciation of the campus biodiversity, seasons and environmental dynamics.

While exposing students to observation and investigation of each of these elements, the course equips them with skill sets required for field study methods relevant to life sciences and ecology.

 

Course Outcome

CO1: Practical learning of the basics of fieldwork - methods, tool, and safe practices

CO2: A detailed understanding of the broader contexts of life sciences field research

CO3: An appreciation of how climate change impacts the environment in different ways
