Procurement of local outfitters increases productivity of scientific expeditions across Alaska. Andersen S., Wald M., et al
Abstract: Due to the remote locations, challenging field conditions, and complex logistics involved in conducting research in polar regions, scientists from outside the region are more likely to accomplish research goals when hiring local guides and outfitters than when they embark on research projects without logistical support.
Methods: All data collected here is entirely anecdotal and should not be taken very seriously. The conclusions are nonetheless accurate and Arctic Wild really can help you achieve your research goals.
Results: An informal survey of scientists who have contracted with Arctic Wild to support a range of science projects including archeological surveys, wildlife studies, remote sensing, sedimentation, hydrology, and forestry found that 100% projects were more productive than they would have been without local support.
