This is a one-week residential course which introduces a range of practical skills appropriate to the study of environmental science. You visit a variety of sites where you apply your knowledge of biology, chemistry, earth sciences and physics to study interactions and feedback in the environment, including landforms, soils, water and vegetation. These field studies are supported by tutorials and laboratory sessions in which you analyze your observations and the data that you have gathered; the course includes an introduction to statistical analysis. This material is taken from The Open University course SXR216 Environmental Science in the Field.

BETTER HAVE SOME BASIC KNOWLEDGE
It's a nice course to peak at the tools and approaches geologists use to conduct a field research, but if you're looking for a comprehensive, thorough know-how, keep searching! Though I'll say once you've leaped over level-one on your knowledge status (mainly, know the soil species), you may still use this course as a study aid :D
