With some modifications, parts of the observatory can also be used for research in other scientific fields, such as oceanography, geophysics and biology.

In 2013, the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) and the Icelandic Centre for Research (RANNIS) decided to jointly build an aurora observatory.
