Subject: Arctic Fieldwork Opportunities
Dear all,
Hope you are well.
Oscar and I are first year geology undergraduates at Durham University and are fascinated by the Arctic and polar environments.
We are reaching out to enquire about potential field work opportunities in the Arctic this summer.
We would love to contribute to research about an important scientific question in this area of study. We hope this could be by providing an extra pair of hands to conduct scientific sampling and analysis. We are very happy to hike and do physical demanding work.
We would be able to fund our travel and accommodation through the Durham University Expedition Society and/or Durham college funds. The deadline for us to apply for these funds is 9th March.
With this in mind, we were wondering whether you have any ongoing or upcoming Arctic research projects that we might be able to contribute to, or could forward this email to anyone you know that is conducting fieldwork this summer?
Kind regards,
Charlie Sawkins & Oscar Billing
