Polar Impact Field Work Survey
Thank you for donating your time to fill out this survey! Results will be shared with members of the Polar Impact network.

We are looking to collect brief responses about peoples' polar fieldwork experiences. We are compiling these answers to help create Polar Impact’s upcoming project, the "Field Survival Guide" where we describe what polar field experiences can be like, offer tips and tricks, and provide resources for everyone, but especially for those who did not grow up learning field skills, for those looking for field opportunities, and for those who are not sure if field work is for them.

We respect your right to privacy, and ask that you only share what you are comfortable with. Responses will be anonymize. While the personal information requested helps us better interpret our results, please don't hesitate to use our "prefer not to say" option and eliminate identifying information from your answers.

Thank you. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
