Pat Wongpan, a postdoc at the Institute of Low Temperature Science at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan, is one of 31 early-career polar researchers who have called for greater diversity and inclusion in Arctic and Antarctic science. In November, Wongpan is set to join the Japanese Antarctic expedition to study the eastern warm-cavity ice shelf that is likely to melt and contribute to a rise in sea level. Polar researchers want their efforts to benefit local communities — but need funding bodies to appreciate those efforts, he says.
