Data collection, river flow measurements, three height, cross sections of rivers, velocity of water flow, identification of rocks, geomorphology etc.
Your best chance is to find a scientific book about geomorphological and soil studies. However, if you want something more specific you could find it in several reviews of each kind of techniques or even in each specific paper. Generally, each paper explains how they did the samples collection, analytical procedures...
I hope this will help you
Fieldwork techniques are learned in the field, not in a textbook.
Between them:
Walk, and locate, observe all kinds of details, macro, meso and micro, use a field knife, cross rivers, walk for hours in the field, cook and take samples of soil, rocks, vegetation types, recognize poisonous snakes and leave them in peace. Leave your home and return healthy.
Thank you Esa Firmansyah and Luis G. Salazar Mondragón .
Luis G. Salazar Mondragón I agree with you, however I was refereeing to technical books showing some guidelines and procedures to do those practical work drawn with pictures.
Best regards,
Granulometry: all of samples that are made in the field should be represative, for example in the layers of a soil, should be collected about 15 kg, after a mechanical separation process (in halves), the sample that reaches the laboratory It should be about 500 gr. To achieve a good granulometric curve, if damage the equipment. If you have many layers, the procedure is repeated.
For samples of humidity, a piece of metal tube, about 8 cm long and 1 inch in diameter, is inca, the sample is wrapped in cellophane paper, wrapped in adhesive paper and hidden from the heat so that moisture does not escape. Everything is taken to the geotechnical laboratory. These are two examples of how to proceed.
Consult the Geotechnical Laboratory book.
Thank you Dear Luis G. Salazar Mondragón that's what I am talking about.
Best regards!

Hi Patrik Silva Two basic books are:
1) STRAHLER, A. N.; STRAHLER, A.Geografia Física, 3ª ed. Barcelona: Omega,. 2000.
2) Freeze, R.A., and Cherry, J.A., 1979, Groundwater: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, Prentice-Hall, 604 p.
With theory and practice. I hope they contribute.
Dear Patrik,
I believe that you have to read in the literature of the science that is related to your field of interest. For example, if you are interested in geomorphology, you will find more applied details in geology books, etc..
Hope this will help.
Best wishes.
