Colleagues,
Over the past two years, the WAIS Workshop has started hosting community discussions intended to facilitate conversations that may expand and improve our community. This year, we invite you to join us for two discussions:
Race in West Antarctica
October 6, 2020, 13:00 to 15:00 EDT
Presentations by Polar Impact Network and the National Science Foundation
COVID-19 Impacts on Early Career Researchers
October 7, 2020, 12:00 to 14:00 EDT
Presentations by the National Science Foundation, NASA, USAP Data Center, Marine and Geology Repository, National Snow and Ice Data Center, the US Ice Drilling Program, Christine Hulbe, and Eric Steig.
To register to attend our discussion, please fill out the form at the following link: https://forms.gle/YWHT6AHh3RXr8h7v6. Please register by Friday, October 2 at 20:00 EDT.
In an effort to help guide our second discussion, we have developed a survey to understand how COVID-19 has impacted the polar community, which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qU23h55KyOmwn-uPIxwW2_zPwuU5m9SLEmX_hB13DeM/edit. We welcome responses from all career stages, regardless of whether or not you plan to attend the WAIS Workshop. 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. 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. Please try to fill out this survey by Friday, October 2 so we can share the anonymized results with presenters and discussion leaders.
Thanks,
The WAIS Workshop Organizing Committee
