UMF provides advanced infrastructure to researchers and environmental monitoring authorities. This includes everything from premises and advanced experimental equipment to ships and boats, as well as support from our experts in planning, implementation, and analysis.
A very important resource is the research vessels that are located at UMF. These enable sampling of various kinds to be carried out in coastal areas as well as in the open sea. On board the research vessel KBV 181, for example, there is advanced sampling equipment and a laboratory with equipment for chemical and biological analysis.
UMF's mesocosm facility is one of Europe's most modern, with detailed control of factors such as temperature, light and agitation. Since we often work with issues related to Arctic and subarctic areas, we have developed the possibility of also creating an ice cover in the mesocosms under controlled conditions.
Our infrastructure is available for research and environmental monitoring. Expressions of interest are made via a form, see below.
