The environmental impacts of fieldwork at and around research stations may be small
in comparison to the impacts of all other human activities and in relation to the often
vast and remote areas in which the fieldwork takes place. However, fieldwork most likely
have both global and local impacts. Examples of these are different means of transport emitting greenhouse gasses and other substances contributing to global Climate
Change and pollution, while the fieldwork itself often impacts the local environment.
In remote parts of North America, Greenland and Russia, the impacts of research might
in fact in some areas be the most important local anthropogenic influence, e.g. in terms
of damage to vegetation, erosion, disturbance to wildlife, emissions, waste disposal,
nutrient enrichment, etc. The impacts of fieldwork is not only an environmental issue but
may also influence other current or future scientific studies. Researchers should therefore
aim to minimise the Climate Change.....
