Arctic and Northern Studies

Arctic and Northern Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the unique environment, cultures, and political issues of the Arctic and northern regions. It examines climate change impacts, indigenous peoples' ways of life, ecological systems, and geopolitical interests such as resource exploration. The field aims to deepen understanding of these regions' significance globally, especially as they face rapid environmental changes and emerging economic opportunities. By integrating social sciences, environmental studies, and policy analysis, Arctic and Northern Studies provides insights into sustainable development and the preservation of Arctic ecosystems and cultures.
