In August 2021, with the full assistance of Professor Sobota, the director of the Polar Research Station of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, the National Central University Arctic Exploration Team successfully entered the Arctic Circle and initiated interdisciplinary research integrating land and sea exploration. They successfully deployed 40 seismometers and 8 drifting data buoys, while also conducting unmanned aerial drone flights and geological surveys, marking a new chapter of research unprecedented for Taiwan.

On June 25, 2022, with the support of the Ministry of Education, the Ocean Affairs Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, the first Taiwanese Arctic Research Station, a collaborative effort between National Central University, National Academy of Marine Research, and the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, was officially established in the cold coast of the Arctic Archipelago. The establishment of the Arctic Research Station symbolizes Taiwan's commitment to environmental monitoring and scientific research, actively participating in Arctic affairs.

The Arctic serves as the best vantage point for observing the Earth's magnetosphere from the ground. Under the effects of global warming, the Arctic is undergoing rapid and dramatic changes in oceanography, climate, geology, and ecology. Countries worldwide dedicated to addressing the issue of warming have strengthened their observations and research in the Arctic, with several polar research stations established by various nations. The College of Earth Sciences at National Central University covers space, atmosphere, ocean, geology, and geophysics, possessing comprehensive research capabilities in polar studies.

To promote international scientific research cooperation and personnel exchange, enhance academic research and joint development in the fields of marine and Earth sciences, and contribute to the realization of sustainable development, the National Central University, National Academy of Marine Research, and the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń signed a trilateral cooperation agreement through video conferencing. The scope of cooperation includes high-resolution glacier migration-induced microseismic observations in polar regions, spatiotemporal variations of Arctic Ocean currents and waves, surface geological and topographical evolution of ice-affected land areas, as well as surface deformation, surface and subsurface hydrology, and permafrost degradation.

In October 2022, with climate change being a global concern, the National Central University Arctic Exploration Team from the College of Earth Sciences seized the opportunity to carry out comprehensive scientific missions such as geophysical exploration, satellite geodesy, permafrost and groundwater monitoring, and investigation of the Arctic Ocean currents. They successfully obtained valuable first-hand data from the polar region and initiated collaborative research with the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, demonstrating both public diplomacy and enhancing international visibility for Taiwan.
