Insitu

Insitu, derived from Latin meaning "in position" or "on site," refers to performing work or analysis directly at the location where the subject naturally exists, rather than moving it elsewhere. In various fields like geology, environmental science, and technology, insitu methods involve observing, measuring, or modifying materials or conditions without extracting samples or relocating them. This approach provides real-time data and can be more efficient and less disruptive than traditional sample collection and analysis. For example, insitu soil testing assesses conditions directly in the ground, ensuring accurate information without disturbing the site extensively.
