Fieldwork is a defining aspect of Physical Geography, Earth and Environmental Science (GEES) programme curricula. At its best, fieldwork offers students valuable opportunities to develop independent research skills in real-world situations, examine analogues for a range of scientific concepts, and socialise with peers. It offers experiences that are challenging to replicate using virtual/remote learning. However, at its worst, traditional fieldwork practice and culture can present barriers to access and hostile environments that epitomise the broader equity, diversity, and inclusivity problems faced by GEES disciplines. With the role of fieldwork increasingly being called into question, here we promote simple adaptations that can make fieldwork more accessible and enjoyable for all.

使 GEES 实地工作更易于访问和更具包容性的六个简单步骤

实地考察是自然地理、地球和环境科学 (GEES) 项目课程的一个决定性方面。在最好的情况下,实地考察为学生提供了宝贵的机会,让他们在现实世界的情况下发展独立研究技能,检查一系列科学概念的类似物,并与同龄人交往。它提供了使用虚拟/远程学习难以复制的体验。然而,在最坏的情况下,传统的田野工作实践和文化可能会阻碍进入和敌对环境,这体现了 GEES 学科面临的更广泛的公平、多样性和包容性问题。随着实地工作的作用越来越受到质疑,我们在这里提倡简单的调整,使实地工作对所有人来说更容易获得和享受。
