About company


    "EcoShelf" company was founded in 1993. The company has got a states license for applied met-ocean explorations for projecting and building of coastal and off-shore constructions. In circumstances of hard economical situation in Russia and insufficient financing for research institutions and scientific projects, a group of specialists in high-latitude environmental studies from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) erected a research and practical company "EcoShelf". Unity and high professional level of the staff allowed the company to survive in the period of country's economical shocks and become known both in Russia and in the World Polar Science society.
