Subject: Contribute to Shaping the Science and Vision of SCAR's new C-CAGE Research Programme
Dear APECS and UKPN,
Would it be possible to distribute this request to your mailing lists to ensure that as many ECRs are able to contribute and be included as possible?
Thanks in advance,
Huw, Cath and Anton
Dear SCAR Antarctic and Southern Ocean biologists,
This is an opportunity for you to help to shape the science and structure of a new SCAR biological research programme.
The aim of the new SCAR scientific programme concentrating on all areas of biology and ecology, Changes in Circumpolar Antarctic Gradients in Ecosystems (C-CAGE), is to use the natural environmental gradients in temperature, ice cover, and other physical drivers that exist in different parts of Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic (with latitude, longitude, altitude, and depth) to better predict the likely outcomes for life as the region's habitats change.
C-CAGE is at the programme planning group stage and looking for input from the scientific community and we need your help to establish who is interested in being part of C-CAGE and what it should be focusing on. We ask you to fill out a short survey (less than 10 minutes of your time) to help us narrow down these big themes and questions to those that are relevant to current and future work by the SCAR biological research community: https://forms.office.com/e/345VHHwT0Z
We would greatly value as many responses as possible before the end of March 2025 and would appreciate it if you would share this message with any relevant colleagues who might be interested. We encourage researchers of all career stages, backgrounds, nationalities, and areas of interest to contribute and ensure that their science is represented.
Thanks again for all your support,
Huw, Cath and Anton
