Abstract: Let $d$ be a positive integer and $mathbbH$ be an integrally closed subring of a global function field $F$. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general sieve method to compute densities of subsets of $mathbb{H}^d$ defined by local conditions. The main advantage of the method relies on the fact that one can use results from measure theory to extract density results over $mathbb{H}^d$. Using this method we are able to compute the density of the set of polynomials with coefficients in $mathbbH$ which give rise to "good" totally ramified extensions of the global function field $F$. As another application, we give a closed expression for the density of rectangular unimodular matrices with coefficients in $mathbbH$ in terms of the $L$-polynomial of the function field.
