How to Build a Study
Completing Studies to Support Compliance Obligations
Using examples from resource-based industries, we will review the steps required to produce a study, such as:
- identifying the purpose of study;
- developing objectives/hypotheses;
- determining the methodology (e.g. information review, sampling, observations, experiments, etc.);
- collection and analysis of data;
- comparing results (i.e. standards, baseline/background/reference site data); and
- reporting.
