Hello UK Polar Science Network!
A reminder that SIOS-KC and RSWG have prepared a survey to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on the Svalbard science community during 2020. This survey will be used to develop a strategy for the upcoming (2021) field season in Svalbard.
We encourage all those who are associated with the Svalbard science community including researchers/scientists, research management staff, logistics operators, academics including students (PhD/Masters/Bachelors), and research station/facility/infrastructure staff, to respond to this survey. You will find more information here: https://sios-svalbard.org/News_20201209.
Deadline: Thursday 7th January 2021
It will take ~15 mins to complete the survey and consists almost entirely of tick boxes. We will present the initial findings of this survey during the SIOS Polar Night Week (11-15 January 2021)
On behalf of SIOS, we look forward to receiving your responses!
Will
