Reintroducing UND ARCTIC: Research, Stories, and Innovation

Over the past four years, the UND ARCTIC Research Lab has meaningfully advanced geospatial and computational innovation focused on the Global Arctic. We look forward to continuing to build on that research momentum as we approach 2026. In the coming months, we will share a wide range of content to showcase the UND ARCTIC Lab (and our partner labs), ranging from insights into our research streams and the significance of our work, to stories highlighting the talented and diverse teams behind it. We will share virtual visits to our labs, firsthand accounts from Arctic field seasons, team member interviews, and more.  

“At the UND ARCTIC Research Lab, we advance the University’s Research and Discovery mission through integrating our cutting-edge Arctic fieldwork with high-performance computation, autonomous systems research, and a focus on national security priorities. Our commitment to collaboration across the UND campus, with our partner universities, and with our federal funders has positioned UND at the forefront of extreme cold-weather Arctic geospatial research and development.”
