Field Sites
The Climate Impacts Research Centre and our collaborators maintain several long-term research study sites here in the Arctic. These range from sites along nearby mountains, in regions of permafrost and in world-famous mires. Each offers researchers different opportunities for data collection and natural Arctic environments in which to conduct their fieldwork, and has access to a range of different specialist instruments and varied infrastructure. Here we provide information about each of our long-term research study sites for you to establish which is best suited to your project.
