Help Us Understand & Improve Fieldwork for Parents in the Arctic & Beyond

Researchers behind the ICEBERG project have launched a survey to better understand how parents navigate field-based research, whether bringing children into the field or arranging care from afar. Led by Christine Liang (UFZ) and Tahnee Prior (Women of the Arctic) under Work Package 4 (co-creation, ethics, equity, gender, fairness, and citizen science), the study aims to identify challenges, effective strategies, and the state of institutional support for parent-researchers.

Who can participate?
Any researcher who has done fieldwork while in a parental role—past or present—across all world regions (not limited to the Arctic).

Why it matters
Insights will inform better support systems, practical resources, and policies that make fieldwork more accessible and equitable for parents, especially early-career researchers.
