Dear Pete,

Please find the link and guidelines for the survey we are conducting. It would be great if you can circulate among polar researchers  
We are getting tons of responses already!

....................................................................................................................  
Dear colleague, we are inviting you to complete this questionnaire, which aims to document and elucidate the major challenges or barriers faced by polar EMCR (Early and Mid-Career Researchers) in their efforts to become established scientists in a field and region of central relevance for research into global change, and that we are intensively committed to and keenly wish to preserve and protect into the future. The already delicate state of EMCR developing scientific careers have received multiple knock-out punches in recent years, first with the 2008 economic crisis and now the COVID-19 pandemic, creating feelings of great helplessness, and forcing some to make great personal and professional sacrifices in order to endure and survive. Our plan is to use the results of this survey as a basis to develop and submit a letter to a Careers section in a JCR journal, while also disseminating the outcomes widely to raise awareness and the profile of these fundamentally important issues. We ask you to rank the issues outlined in the questionnaire in the order in which they have been most pressuring and impacting for you. If you are interested you can also support this effort by signing a vow of support at the end of the questionnaire. Further, if you have a strong desire to share and express your experiences we are most happy to hear more from you. Thank you very much!

Here is the link to the survey:
