Research

Kilpisjärvi and its surroundings offer a unique setting for diverse research. The Kilpisjärvi Biological Station provides valuable resources, including field and laboratory technicians, vehicles, and laboratory facilities, which support extensive field studies.

The station is home to numerous long-term monitoring initiatives, with the oldest—focused on vole populations—dating back to 1946. In addition to long-term monitoring, a wide range of research on land and water ecosystems is conducted, increasingly addressing the impacts of climate change.
