Course schedule
Prior to the physical meeting three tasks should be carried out: 1) preparation and submission of a PM describing a sampling plan which will be distributed to the other participants, 2) read the PM’s from 3-4 other participants, 3) read an article regarding the application of the Law of Propagation of Uncertainties.
You will be contacted by email on September 20th by the course instructors and receive more detailed instructions for these tasks.
Please, bring laptop with you for the calculation exercises regarding measurement uncertainties on day 3. The laptop should run Excel (or similar) or e.g. Matlab/R/Python (if you know some programming and prefer to do calculations using those).
You will also need proper field clothes. Even if it is raining we will carry out the field tasks.
