Sampling campaigns designed and executed to produce clean, analyzable environmental datasets for soil, water, and plants.
Field Sampling & Environmental Monitoring
Sampling campaigns designed and executed to produce clean, analyzable environmental datasets for soil, water, and plants.
Overview
I help plan and run field sampling so you end up with data you can actually analyze. That includes practical designs, clear documentation, and a clean handoff that connects field work to lab and modeling needs.
Ideal collaborators
Labs, agencies, and consulting teams that need consistent field data for monitoring, validation, or decision support in agriculture and environmental projects.
What you get
- Sampling design aligned to objectives, constraints, and the expected analysis
- Field protocols and forms with a metadata schema that reduces missing information
- QA and QC checks, labeling plan, and sample tracking notes
- GIS maps for locations and coverage plus a final curated dataset
- A short summary report that explains what was collected and what it means for next steps
Inputs to start
- Site boundaries, access constraints, and target parameters
- Desired sampling density, timing, and any lab method requirements
- Existing maps or prior samples, if available
- Reporting requirements, including monitoring or compliance needs
Workflow
- Scoping and design with a map plan and a field protocol draft
- Logistics planning, forms, and sample tracking setup
- Field collection with QA and QC checks
- Data curation and delivery with maps, metadata, and a brief summary
Typical outcomes
- A sampling plan and field protocol that another team could follow
- A clean dataset with metadata and QA and QC notes
- Monitoring support that includes indicators and a reporting template when needed
