SciencePoles and the International Polar Foundation

The SciencePoles website is one of the four websites of the International Polar Foundation. It provides an overview of polar science and research findings as well as recent and forthcoming developments across a range of scientific disciplines. It is a key tool for the International Polar Foundation in aiming to bridge the science-society divide.

If interested, you are of course warmly encouraged to use the SciencePole website as a publishing platform. If you have important research you want to communicate, we will be pleased to publish an article about it and make a link to the relevant pages on your website.

Over time the articles will also address emerging developments in these fields.
