COVID-19 Impacts on Early-Career Researchers

The purpose of this survey is to assess the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on early-career researchers in the Antarctic science community. We welcome all responses from all career stages, regardless of whether or not you plan to attend the WAIS Workshop. Results from this survey will be shared at and used to inform planning for a synchronous session on COVID-19 impacts on early-career researchers at the virtual 2020 West Antarctic Ice Sheet Workshop. We hope that gathering information can inform a more effective community response that follows from that sessions.

We recognize that this survey is US-centric in design; we are happy to work with non-US-based colleagues who are interested in developing partner-surveys to solicit more relevant feedback for their funding entities. We are especially interested in assessing impacts on early-career researchers, but we also would like to know how community members in general are impacted by COVID-19 and what individuals and institutions are doing to mitigate these impacts.
