Field Research

Research beyond the museum

Field research connects the museum’s professional and scientific work with natural habitats, research sites, and material documented in museum collections.

Field research includes work outside the museum, documenting findings, and collecting data that contributes to scientific analysis, professional work, and the preservation of museum material.

Land-based research

Land-based research

Land-based research includes fieldwork at specific sites, habitat documentation, and the collection of data linked to museum collections and professional documentation.

The results of land-based research are used to improve our understanding of biodiversity, monitor changes in nature, and enrich museum holdings with new professional data.

  • collecting and documenting findings
  • recording sites and field data
  • linking results with museum collections
