Meet our primary research organizations! We hope it can help your research project get underway in Greenland.
NOTE: This guide is not exhaustive and will be updated regularly. If there are any research stations you think we are missing, please give us a quote here.
The Arctic Station is located on the south coast of the Disko Island in central west Greenland (69°15’N, 53°34’W). It is thus facing the Disko Bay / Davis Strait and is characterized by an arctic, marine climate.
Zackenberg welcomes national and international scientists and students who wish to carry out research projects or run a course.
Kobbefjord Research Station is located ca. 25 km from Nuuk in the inner part of Kobbefjord. It is part of Pinngortitaleriffik – Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. Currently the station is mainly used by personel affiliated with the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring program, but the station is open to all visiting scientists.
Villum Research Station is a research facility at the military outpost Station Nord in high arctic North Greenland (81°36’ N, 16°40’ W).
The Sermilik Scientific Research Station provides a logistic base for the ongoing glaciological, hydrological and geomorphological investigations of the Mittivakkat Glacier and its catchment.
Newly expanded and jointly operated with University of Graz
Summit Station is the only high altitude, high latitude, inland, year‐round observing station in the Arctic. Summit Station offers immediate access to the free troposphere and is relatively free of local influences that could corrupt atmospheric observations. As such, it is ideally suited for studies aimed at identifying and understanding long‐range, intercontinental transport and its influences on the ice sheet surface, boundary layer, and overlying atmosphere.
Summit Station is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Arctic Research Program and operated by Battelle Arctic Research Operations (ARO) with guidance from the Science Coordination Office (SCO) and in cooperation with the Government of Greenland. The Battelle ARO contract is administered by the Arctic Research Support and Logistics (RSL) Program at the NSF.
Arctic DTU is based on DTU’s campuses in Lyngby and Sisimiut and is responsible for promoting DTU’s Arctic activities within research, education, innovation and research-based consulting.
These former barracks from the time when the Americans used Kangerlussuaq as a military base, are used today as accommodation primarily for scientist that does studies around Kangerlussuaq or on the Ice Cap.
Narsaq International Research Station is an independent non-profit research platform with a focus on cultural and scientific research in South Greenland.
