Survey ECAMMS: Early Career Antarctic Marine Mammal and Seabird Researchers

DEAR EARLY CAREER SCIENTIST. Does your research involve Antarctic or subantarctic marine mammals and/or seabirds? If so, please continue reading!

We have created a survey with the goal of identify and quantifying Early Career Researchers (ECRs) who have conducted or are currently conducting research on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine mammals and seabirds, and to document the skills and expertise they have developed through their research. The survey aims to establish a stronger communication channel between the SCAR Expert Group on Birds and Marine Mammals (EG-BAMM) and ECRs who may be interested in contributing to large collaborative projects led or supported by EG-BAMM. Ultimately, it will also help create a platform connecting senior researchers with ECRs working on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine mammals and seabirds.

You can access the survey HERE

The results of this survey will be presented to EG-BAMM at the SCAR conference in Oslo at the EG-BAMM meeting (11:30-3:30 pm on Saturday, August 8 in Central Park B) and likely, published at a scientific journal.

Please do not complete this survey unless your research involves marine mammals or seabirds from Antarctic or sub-Antarctic regions.

The survey should take only a few minutes to complete. The deadline for responses is August 3.

Survey responses will be processed anonymously. However, if you would like to join the official ECAMMS email list, you may provide your name and email address at the end of the survey (section 5) and authorize their use solely for this purpose.

Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you have any question at:

Thank you for your time and participation!!
