know whom you would call in case of emergency. Some field scientists have emergency evacuation insurance. Provisions: Do you have enough food and water for every person on the team? Without enough freshwater, your expedition would quickly be over. Scientists sometimes bring water filters or iodine tablets so they can drink water from local sources like streams and rivers without getting sick. Water can be very heavy, so in many instances, this is the best option. Critters: Before working in a new study area scientists need to familiarize themselves with the critters that live in the area. Are there scorpions, poisons snakes, cougars, grizzly bears etc., and if so, how do you best handle an encounter with these creatures? Bear safety is particularly important when working in the northern latitudes. Clothing Because scientist travel to remote regions they need to be prepared for harsh conditions and exposure. A waterproof shell jacket is essential, as are layers to keep warm and dry. In the northern latitudes conditions can be mild, say 70 degrees, or you can wakeup with snow on your tent. Scientists need to be prepared for heat, cold, rain and snow, depending on where they work. Good sturdy shoes can also be very helpful.
