Toolik Field Station (TFS) is a leading, year-round Arctic research, observation, and education facility, providing insight to address local and global challenges of the rapidly changing Arctic. We are located in the northern foothills of Alaska's Brooks Range and operated by the Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks with support from the National Science Foundation.
Toolik Field Station has been a major location for scientific research in the Arctic since 1975. Toolik-based researchers have access to 87,000 acres designated as a Research Natural Area by the Bureau of Land Management. Our location allows scientists access to three major physiographic provinces of Alaska: the Brooks Range, the Arctic foothills, and the Arctic coastal plain.
TFS provides scientific, technical, and logistical support to researchers and students from across the world, including: housing, meals, laboratories, travel to the station and field sites, expediting, equipment maintenance and fabrication, and field safety.
The Spatial & Environmental Data Center (SEDC) at TFS works directly with scientists and administrators for the advancement of research. The SEDC supports the science community by: establishing the environmental and biological context wherein scientists can interpret their own research, managing a suite of common-use laboratory and field equipment during the main field season, providing limited assistance with fieldwork, site selection, and coordination with permitting.
