  • Not usually. For my sphere, you need field time to understand how things work. The academic smarts gives you the horsepower to the hardest problems, but it doesn't replace the foundational skills that comprise 97% of the work

  • Now it's time to get your hands dirty with just about everything that comes your way and build up that experience. You're not meant to be a master of your field, you're meant to be able to think intelligently about your subject matter

  • Within your area of expertise too, even. In my field, Ph.Ds are viewed as being overqualified with not enough field experience

  • I am an environmental consultant, too. You're correct that they often re-route or change their designs based on habitat, though this isn't always the case. They can determine if the impact is major, or if it can be reversed or off-set. An example would be a mine that goes through woodland caribou habitat. They'll still mine the fuck out of it, but then they'll be required to reclaim it back to what it was. The rub is that people think reclamation is a fast or sure thing, but it's neither. Some ecosystems, like those that support caribou are really hard to re-establish, but operators can get on with a commitment to restore, and a couple of contingencies in case the reclamation doesn't work.

    @terranoid@lemmy.cafe yes, this is a thing in consulting, but often with the smaller, more cowboy firms. Bigger firms can push back a bit, and say 'hey, look. we really don't recommend this, here's the risks' or flat refuse service if they can take the hit.

    @owsei@programming.dev yes, generally, consultants are hired to do things like rare plant surveys or wildlife sweeps. It's not the EPA or other regulators doing this and the operators don't have the capacity or expertise to do it themselves usually.

  • More than likely they do a survey to determine if the beetle is present. There is a whole thing about core and matrix habitat for species at risk, with matrix being less protected.
