Funding for expeditions and science programs is hard fought and won, and it is critical that funding is allocated in a manner to provide the best outcome for safe completion of the project objectives.
We are highly experienced in undertaking remote area project work, and we bring these skills to a risk based approach in planning our field work, on land , ice and at sea.
All polar project work will benefit from our glaciological terrain assessment services. We can apply our data services capability to provide analysis and modelling of physical and climatic aspects of investigation sites, across all latitudes, to ensure a holistic safety and viability based approach to field work.
Expedition science project development.
Our principal researchers have an international level track-record in successfully developing, planning and delivering scientific research projects funded by national and international science agencies, to collect data in remote environments.
We offer planning services, as well as expert review of field based science project plans, particularly around remote field work. We can apply our extensive experience to assist you in formulating a robust and achievable field program.
Science based expeditions have unique requirements above and beyond other remote exploration expeditions. Equipment requirements, project timing, and samples management require careful planning to ensure that the scientific objectives of the expedition are achieved.
