ABSTRACT
Any fieldwork planning needs to consider the associated risks and team safety. When considering moving sophisticated paleoimaging instrumentation to and through remote, sometimes hostile, geographic areas and operating such instruments in those regions, researchers must be aware of the physical and biological risks they may encounter. Additionally, the safe transport and operating parameters related to that equipment prior to embarking on such expeditions must be considered. Radiation protection measures must be practiced at all times when conducting paleoimaging research.
