Tarfala Research Station Workshop
Time: February 7, 2022, at 10h00-14h00
Place: De Geer Hall, Geoscience Building, Stockholm University and Zoom
Welcome to a workshop where we provide inspiration and discuss possibilities to conduct field work in the Swedish Arctic at Tarfala Research Station, TRS. TRS is hosted by the Dept. of Physical Geography at Stockholm University and is Sweden’s only research station located right next to glaciers in an Arctic alpine environment. The station is situated in the Tarfala Valley under the Kebnekaise Mountains in northern Sweden and can host up to 30 national and international researchers and students at a time.
At TRS you have the opportunity to investigate the surrounding glaciers and landforms, the glacial lakes and streams which run through the valley, along with permafrost soil and Arctic vegetation and ecosystem to name but a few examples. Facilities at TRS include laboratories, workrooms, a workshop and various research instruments readily available, and you will be offered comfortable accommodation with showers, sauna, washing machine and cooked food directly in the Swedish Arctic. Everyone interested in conducting field work at TRS is welcome to join the workshop on Feb 7, 2022. We hope to see you there!
Tarfala Research Station is under the purview of SITES, a national infrastructure for ecosystem research that facilitates long-term, world-class field based ecosystem research by offering a unique infrastructure and expertise to the Swedish and international research community. SITES director is AMRI Pi Stefan Bertilsson, SLU.
