However, all information has been quality controlled by University of Copenhagen staff, and any errors that might occur in the manual are therefore the sole responsibility of the University of Copenhagen. Front page picture: Morten Rasch Publisher: Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen Photo: Morten Rasch Photo: Morten Preface Safety is important for all types of arctic fieldwork. Fieldwork in remote arctic areas with extreme climate and extreme physical settings require close attention to safety. This manual pertains to all arctic fieldwork associated with research projects and tasks commissioned or managed by the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen (SCIENCE). The manual consist of an introductory section including a more general introduction to safety considera- tions of relevance to all arctic fieldwork. -
