Short description of research profile
The research group will address topics related to the circumpolar Arctic region.
The region is warming four times faster than the rest of the world and is experiencing dramatic changes in socio-economic, ecological and political conditions. To understand these processes, we will access the contemporary theoretical and methodological directions in Arctic research and explore its relevance for our joint and individual research interests.
