Can anyone tell me the difference between the hypothesis and the aim of your fieldwork? The explanation I was given made them sound identical.

Its the same thing. E.g. the hypothesis was that channel characteristics change as we go downstream as predicted by bradshaw model whereas for the aim youd word it differently and say the aim of our investigation was to see if channel characteristics change as we go downstream as predicted by bradshaw model

Ok thanks, so they are indifferent.

Is spearman's rank an analysis technique? Or a data presentation technique?

Scatter graphs presentation, spear mans analysis

Do you think a 'describe a method for data analysis' will come up?

Can anyone pls write out the method for drawing cross section graphs for data presentation. Thanks.

can someone explain the whole methodology for the fieldwork

Checking width depth velocity and bed load at different points of the river both along and down it using intervals to measure with ruler/flow metre/ruler again to create a cross section and bar charts allowing us to compare using eventually a scattergraph to compare average velocities and bed load for correlation ultimately creating spear mans rank co efficient go check if the correlation is not only positive but real.
