The little time you spend
researching your destination now could save you time and trouble abroad, if not
your life. According to the U.S. State Department, an average of
6,000 US citizens die overseas every year. Others are involved in traffic
accidents or serious illnesses. These episodes might have been prevented
with a little planning and information. As a field geologist, you'll be
exposed to a higher potential for accidents and illnesses, but you can combat
this if you're prepared.
