Title

Expeditioner and family reintegration: Comparing ship-based and air-based personnel movement

Project aims

For the scientists and technicians who work in Antarctica and their families, returning to normal family and work life can be challenging. By understanding the changes that occur during separation in expeditioners and their families, activities designed to make this transition a positive experience can be implemented.
