POLARIN presents a new article introducing POLARIN GIS, an interactive geospatial platform designed to help researchers discover and explore polar research infrastructures across the Arctic and Antarctic.

The article, “POLARIN GIS: A tool for finding the right polar research infrastructure for your science”, written by Anton Lindfors (Umeå University) and Elmer Topp-Jørgensen (Aarhus University and INTERACT Non-Profit Association), highlights how the platform supports researchers in identifying suitable facilities for their scientific projects and preparing applications for POLARIN Transnational Access (TA).

Through interactive maps, advanced search filters, and detailed infrastructure information, POLARIN GIS enables users to explore research stations and vessels, compare their capabilities, and access information on facilities, environmental conditions, and operational areas. The platform also provides contact details to help researchers assess project feasibility before applying for access.

By bringing this information together in one accessible platform, POLARIN GIS simplifies research planning and facilitates access to polar research infrastructures.
