Expedition Audacity Research


Science with Purpose, Ethics, and Shared Stewardship

WHAT EXPEDITION AUDACITY RESEARCH IS

Expedition Audacity’s research programme generates high-quality, multidisciplinary knowledge in environments that are remote, rapidly changing, and historically under-studied.


Our approach integrates scientific methods, ethical collaboration with Indigenous and local partners, and transparent documentation — ensuring that research is both rigorous and responsible.


Research at EAR is not about chasing novelty; it is about addressing evidence gaps, supporting community priorities, and contributing to decision-ready knowledge.

HOW WE APPROACH RESEARCH

We Study With Communities, Not Over Them  

Our research is structured around four core principles:

Collaborative Design

Transparency & Accountability

Collaborative Design

Research questions and methods are co-developed with partners, aligning scientific inquiry with local knowledge and priorities. 

Ethical Standards

Transparency & Accountability

Collaborative Design

All work is conducted under rigorous ethical frameworks that prioritise consent, dignity, and shared benefit.

Scientific Rigor

Transparency & Accountability

Transparency & Accountability

We apply established methodologies and peer-review standards suited to each discipline, spanning ecology, oceanography, social science, and STEAM research. 

Transparency & Accountability

Transparency & Accountability

Transparency & Accountability

Data, methods, and outputs are documented openly where appropriate, respecting partner agreements and data governance commitments. 

This approach ensures that research is meaningful, respectful, and useful.

PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS

Where Our Research and Partnerships Are Directed.   

Expedition Audacity research advances knowledge where it matters most:

Climate & Ocean Dynamics

Understanding changing temperature regimes, circulation patterns, and sea–ice interactions.

Biodiversity & Ecosystem Health

Monitoring species distributions, food webs, and ecosystem responses to environmental change. 

Social & Cultural Dimensions

Exploring how communities experience, perceive, and respond to ecological transformation. 

Data Integration & Accessible Knowledge

 Bridging traditional, scientific, and observational data into formats that inform decision-making and stewardship.


Each focus area reflects a need identified by partners and science alike.

How We Work

Ethics, data stewardship, and partnerships that respect people, place, and purpose.   

ETHICS, CONSENT, & DATA PRACTICES

ETHICS, CONSENT, & DATA PRACTICES

ETHICS, CONSENT, & DATA PRACTICES

Expedition Audacity’s research is governed by ethical frameworks that prioritise:


  • Free, Prior, and Informed Consent with Indigenous and local partners
  • Accountable Documentation that respects context and community narratives
  • Data Governance aligned with shared ownership, protection, and use agreements
  • Responsible Reporting that avoids sensationalism and honours nuance
     

Research does not occur in isolation — it is inseparable from relationships, agreements, and accountability.

WHAT WE PRODUCE

ETHICS, CONSENT, & DATA PRACTICES

ETHICS, CONSENT, & DATA PRACTICES

Expedition Audacity’s research generates outputs that serve science, partners, and the public:
 

  • Peer-Reviewed Publications
  • Open-Access Reports & Datasets (as agreed)
  • Educational Resources
  • Policy Briefs & Decision Support Tools
  • Documentary & Visual Archives
     

These outputs are designed to be usable, reliable, and accountable — informing real-world decisions today while helping raise a generation that understands, respects, and protects the environments they will inherit.

PARTNERSHIPS & COLLABORATION

ETHICS, CONSENT, & DATA PRACTICES

PARTNERSHIPS & COLLABORATION

EAR research thrives in partnership. We work collaboratively with:


  • Academic institutions
  • Government and non-government agencies
  • Indigenous and local knowledge holders
  • Independent scientists
  • Community scholars
     

These collaborations are structured, respectful, and built on shared purpose.

HOW TO ENGAGE WITH OUR RESEARCH

Pathways for Collaboration, Access, and Shared Impact .   

There are multiple ways to engage with Expedition Audacity’s research:


  • Support Research Funding — enabling high-quality, long-term inquiry
     
  • Partner with Us — co-develop research projects
     
  • Access Outputs — use evidence in planning, education, and policy
     
  • Participate in Research Residencies — apply as a researcher with an independent project
     

Research at EAR is shared work — not something done to communities or places.

Support Research
Research Partnerships
Residency Opportunities

Research in Service of Understanding

Knowledge Built With Purpose, Ethics, and Shared Stewardship    

At Expedition Audacity, research is not boundless — it is governed, purposeful, and rooted in shared inquiry. The questions we pursue reflect real needs, not curiosity for curiosity’s sake.

Explore, learn, engage — and help build research that matters.
