Consulting and Project Guidance
Strategic support for planning and decision-making in polar science
Every successful Arctic research project starts with the right questions—and the right preparation. Kolibri Geo Services offers consulting and guidance based on more than two decades of hands-on polar field experience. Whether you’re in the early stages of project design or facing new challenges mid-expedition, we help you make informed, practical decisions rooted in local knowledge.
-
Feasibility & Project Design
We work with researchers to assess whether their proposed plans are realistic for Arctic conditions. That includes evaluating sites, seasonality, weather constraints, and transport options. We help shape field strategies that are grounded in both scientific goals and operational reality.
-
Permitting & Local Regulations
Navigating Svalbard’s permitting process and safety requirements can be time-consuming. We provide advice and assistance based on experience working with local authorities and environmental guidelines—helping you prepare solid applications and avoid common delays.
-
Equipment Advice & Methodology
We support researchers in selecting tools and techniques that will actually work in the field. From choosing robust instrumentation to advising on data collection methods, we help ensure your scientific setup is suited to the environment you’re working in.
-
Cross-disciplinary Insight
We’ve contributed to projects in geology, geophysics, biology, climate research, and even TV and media production. This broad perspective helps us advise on projects that involve multiple fields, new technologies, or unique logistical needs—across Svalbard, Greenland, Canada, and Antarctica.
