YOU FOCUS ON THE SCIENCE,
WE HANDLE THE REST.

The Polar Collective connects scientists with a network of polar tour operators to expand data collection across a larger geographical and temporal scale, all at no extra cost.

Your project is led by polar guides who have completed tailored training, ensuring consistent practices and reliable data.

DATA YOU CAN COUNT ON

YOUR SCIENCE, COMMUNICATED

We enjoy sharing project updates with our operator network to increase the success and reach of your project.

"Working with the Polar Collective has been a great way to get our South Georgia Big Seaweed Search citizen science project up and running.

 

As a result of this partnership, we have now received sufficient data providing us with new insights on the distribution and state of South Georgia seaweeds."

– Prof. Juliet Brodie, South Georgia Big Seaweed Search

"The Polar Collective has been a vital partner in communicating and organizing our data collection among expedition staff.

 

Without their help we would not be able to reach the public as effectively as we do."
