Abstract: The survey will collect information about organizational and community culture in Antarctica, perceptions of the issues of sexual assault and harassment, perceptions of leadership support, and the formal and informal interactions between USAP participants on the ice. The surveys will enable the data analysis effort to explore the differences in experience and perceptions based on demographic analysis. The survey will be conducted via an online portal and will not collect any personally identifiable information. The questions will be developed by professionals and will be representative best practices for similar efforts. The target audience will be USAP participants who have deployed to Antarctica within the previous three years.
