Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) is an international consortium in which 28 member institutions from 10 countries cooperate to develop and maintain a regional Earth observing system in and around Svalbard. We will present some of the tools that this consortium uses to facilitate fieldwork within Earth System Science. Firstly, our Logistics Sharing Notice Board is a platform where you can offer spare logistical resources or ask for logistical support with your fieldwork. Secondly, our Observation Facility Catalogue can help you learn about existing infrastructure and measurements in Svalbard, and you can even enter your own instruments and infrastructure. In addition, our e-learning platform is a valuable resource for newcomers to research and fieldwork in Svalbard and our data catalogue provides an overview of and access to relevant existing datasets. Finally, SIOS offers funding to facilitate access to the research infrastructure owned by SIOS member institutions (our Access Programme), as well as to improve infrastructure in and around Svalbard (our Optimisation Programme).
