Services and history
Founded in 2017, PRECon is a scientist-led polar research and expedition consultancy that pairs world-class field operations with public education to make science and exploration more accessible and cost-effective. We deliver end-to-end support for science, film, and exploration—route design and permitting; HSE/SOP frameworks and bear-aware safety; communications and SAR planning; and on-ice field leadership and training. Our research services include GNSS/AWS installations, GPR surveys, UAV/photogrammetry mapping, and mass-balance networks, while our production logistics cover scouting, vessel-to-ice access, UAV operations, and on-site safety so crews can focus on the story. We also offer keynotes and workshops on leadership under uncertainty. Every paid Feasibility Review funds youth training, and we operate to strict sustainability standards across the Arctic (all seven countries), Antarctica, Greenland, Nepal, and tropical Southeast Asia.
