The approach integrates three perspectives: sustainable logistics, higher efficiency in field operations, and digital tools to limit physical presence without reducing observing capacity. For remote research stations, often disconnected from energy, water, and waste networks, innovative closed-cycle solutions for production, use, and disposal will be designed and tested under real conditions. Prototypes and real-case applications will ensure reproducibility and transferability. Field activities will be optimized to reduce their footprint, complemented by digital tools such as Digital Twins, AI, and Earth Observation. SUSTAIN-ICE will also engage Arctic communities and stakeholders to co-design solutions, build societal acceptance, and secure longterm legacy. A user-oriented online platform will provide best practices, validated technologies, and practical tools for sustainable Arctic research. By integrating operational, technological, and societal dimensions, SUSTAIN-ICE offers a transformative pathway to minimize the environmental cost of polar science while ensuring robust, year-round climate data collection.
