ARC's Current Projects
Overland expedition to study riverine pollution, practicing zero-impact principles to the greatest extent possible:
Benefits of overlanding:
- Access remote and inaccessible areas
- Connect with nature and learn about different ecosystems
- Develop self-reliance and problem-solving skills
- Experience the freedom of traveling at your own pace
- Minimize environmental impact
Zero-impact camping principles:
- Leave no trace of your presence
- Respect wildlife and their habitats
- Dispose of waste properly
- Use resources sparingly
- Educate others about zero-impact camping
Submersion to investigate the impact of oceanic plastic on coral reefs, adhering to leave-no-trace protocols:
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, but they are also under threat from a variety of factors, including oceanic plastic pollution. Our team of scientists is using submersion techniques to investigate the impact of oceanic plastic on coral reefs and to develop strategies for protecting these vital ecosystems.
Leave-no-trace protocols:
- We use reusable equipment and avoid using any products that could harm the coral reefs.
- We are careful not to damage the coral reefs when we are diving.
- We dispose of any waste properly.
- We educate other divers about the importance of protecting coral reefs.
Construction of an aerial vessel for polar exploration:
We are currently constructing an aerial vessel for polar exploration. This vessel will be able to reach remote and inaccessible areas of the Arctic and Antarctic, allowing us to conduct research on these vital ecosystems. The vessel will also be equipped with a variety of scientific instruments, allowing us to collect data on climate change, sea ice dynamics, and wildlife populations.
Features of the aerial vessel:
- Long range and endurance
- Ability to land on ice and snow
- Equipped with a variety of scientific instruments
- Environmentally friendly design
