This research aims to investigate the decision-making processes of scientists and fieldworkers involved in primarily climate change and biodiversity expeditions and field studies. It focuses on how these groups navigate uncertainty through expert heuristics and specialised knowledge (Kahneman, 2021; Gigerenzer, 2019; Klein, 2005). Research aim: To describe how expedition scientists and field researchers navigate uncertain decisions in the field and in the lab? Research Question 1: What uncertainties affect decisions of science expeditions and field studies teams? Research Question 2: Do emerging technologies affect the need for science expeditions and field studies? Research Question 3: Can learning from experience in the field be replaced by studies in the lab? This research program is broken into 3 phases: Phase 1: In-depth interviews for phenomenological description of experiences of decisions under uncertainty the context of scientific expeditions and field studies. Phase 2: Theoretical sampling of expedition teams willing to participate in further study during an expedition or field study. Phase 3: Extending the theory and application of the generated substantive theory into a grounded theory that could be applied to other contexts of high uncertainty. Ultimately, this research will clarify how false dichotomies such as rationality and intuition, human and technology, the field and the lab are being hybridised in interesting ways in the context of scientific expeditions and field work.
