Science platforms and infrastructures

The intention of the list below is to provide an online gateway to Arctic research vessels and stations. We encourage our visitors to inform the FARO Secretariat about relevant web sites to be included in the list.

An overview of more than 85 terrestrial field bases, mainly Arctic, can be found at the EU funded infrastructure project INTERACT.

An overview of research vessels can also be found at the EU funded Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium (ARICE).
