Fieldwork Safety

Forms

There are two forms for fieldwork:

• The local form is for fieldwork that is relatively close to the University of Ottawa - for example, a summer fieldwork project that includes visiting multiple sites across the city of Ottawa, Gatineau Park and Queen's University Biology Station (QUBS).
• The non-regional form is for fieldwork that takes place in a far off location - for example, a two-week trip to Nunavut, Northern Ontario or Panama.
