Logistical services and equipment

UNIS offers a wide range of equipment for fieldwork and can assist with the planning and execution of scientific field operations. 

Available equipment and support include:

• Safety and communication equipment for Arctic environments
• Clothing for different field conditions, including snowmobile suits for winter operations, survival suits and Regatta suits for boat operations, and workwear for laboratory and fieldwork
• Research vessel Hanna Resvoll and open PolarCirkel boats
• Snowmobiles, sledges, tracked vehicles, mobile field cabins, and other transport equipment
• Technical staff for field support

Please note that UNIS does not provide equipment or logistical support for projects or fieldwork that are not connected to UNIS courses or do not have a valid UNIS project number.

Students who wish to borrow equipment for private outings can contact the Student Welfare Committee.

All UNIS projects must be approved and assigned a UNIS project number before equipment or logistical support can be requested.

UNIS has limited capacity to support external projects, so please contact us well in advance to clarify whether, and to what extent, we are able to support your project.

When contacting us, please include your UNIS project number or course code.

For questions or enquiries about logistical support, please contact us at ofs@unis.no or contact the relevant department engineer.
