Dive for Science is written by an accomplished oceanographer husband-wife team, Lauren and Simon, who have two children. This blog has many fantastic posts about doing fieldwork with children, traveling with children, backpacking with children, and about being a woman and a mother in this field. She includes gear and logistics recommendations.
The following series of posts is a lovely narrative about thier family traveling to Hawaii for data collection. They brought the grandparents along for childcare, and the kids got to experience living in Hawaii while the parents did data collection. She also includes many good suggestions for doing fieldwork with children successfully.

These are a collection of narratives by people who have conducted fieldwork with their children (side-by-side, with a caregiver at a field site/station, or pumping). If you have a story you are willing to share we would love to post it, please see the Welcome post (first post) for more details. A number of wonderful parents have kindly offered to share stories during this summer, so please be sure to check back in for those.
