    Research carried out at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station focuses on nature and the environment in the north.

    Long-term monitoring projects, which survey the state of the environment, lie at the core of research at the station. The longest-standing of these projects, launched in 1946, focuses on fluctuations in vole populations. Various research projects related to climate change form an increasingly important part of the station’s activities.

    The Kilpisjärvi Biological Station is nestled on the flanks of the Saana fell, bordering Sweden and Norway. The station operates all year round and offers a wide range of services to researchers and students as well as to other visitors.

    The station is one of the research infrastructures of Helsinki Institute of Life Science. The station is maintained by the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences.
