Two Norwegian-built sailboats equipped for coastal fieldwork, logistics, and expedition support.
Science under Sail is a non-profit organisation based in Norway, dedicated to advancing ecological and biogeographical research. Our interests centre on terrestrial ecosystems, macroecology, island biogeography, and the latitudinal and altitudinal gradients that shape plant diversity, distribution, and evolution.
Our field experience spans tropical to arctic ecosystems — including Norway, the Alps, South Africa, Australia, and Panama — and we are actively seeking project collaborators and funding to help push this research forward.
Our expeditions can support just about any scientific aim — from water, rocks, and fossils to plants, animals, and fungi. To make meaningful work possible at sea and on land, Science under Sail provides capable sailboats, practical logistics, and research‑ready workflows for sampling, analysis, and field operations.
We also offer science communication and outreach services — including (popular‑) science writing, publication support, and website or app development — to help make ecological knowledge more accessible to broader audiences.
