About the project:

I study the ecophysiology of little auks (Alle alle), which are the most abundant seabirds of the Arctic, and acknowledged ecological indicators of changing marine ecosystems in this polar region. Via a long-term study of little auks breeding in East Greenland (Liverpool Land), in place since 2005, but also through specific experimental and modelling approaches, as well as through a panarctic network of collaborations.

Inspired by the works of Carina Ren and Lill Rastad Bjørst, I am analyzing how Climate Change (melting ice) and Digital Infrastructure (submarine cables and satellite networks) act as powerful non-human agents in Greenland’s political journey. The goal is to understand how these socio-technical networks redefine sovereignty and autonomy in the Arctic, moving beyond traditional human-centric politics.

Politics of Green Investments: The Green Transition and Recognition of Colonial Relations in Greenland and Sápmi

The study focuses on the clash between the moral imperative to extract for the green transition and the moral imperative of a reckoning with past and ongoing colonial injustices in Greenland and in Swedish Sápmi. The study seeks to understand how these clashing imperatives are negotiated between ruling elites and local populations in green extractive investments.

Politics of Green Investments: The Green Transition and Recognition of Colonial Relations in Greenland and Sápmi

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The green transition requires a dramatic upsurge in critical mineral extraction. Extraction is part of colonial histories in Greenland and Swedish Sápmi, which have large deposits of such minerals. Their Indigenous Inuit and Sámi inhabitants, however, are resisting the further sacrifice of their lands for the green transition, indicating a clash between the moral imperative to extract for this transition and the moral imperative of a reckoning with past and ongoing colonial injustices. This comparative case study between Greenland and Swedish Sápmi seeks to understand how these clashing imperatives are negotiated between ruling elites and local populations in green extractive investments. It does so by identifying and comparing different forms of recognition (legal, socioeconomic, cultural) between ruling elites and local populations, asking how forms of recognition are activated or ignored in, and affect, the negotiation of imperatives in concrete investment cases.

We aim to measure the amount of carbon (carbon dioxide and methane) exchanged between the atmosphere and soil, as well as measuring the amount of carbon transported laterally in small streams and rivers.

The critical digital art institution

In my research I look into what kind of 'counter-technologies' the contemporary art scenes have as alternatives to technologies developed by big-tech industries. Among others, I look into how digital platforms can provide micro- and small art institutions, placed outside the bigger metropoles, with shared spaces for artistic and curatorial experimentation across cultures and nationalities. Narsaq International Research Station is one of my focus points in this research.

My research centers on different ideas of value in relation to 'green' investments (i.e., investments that are in some way justified by the need for a green transition), with a specific focus on the mining industry. I do this by drawing on two case studies from South Greenland: The proposed and contested mine at Kuannersuit and the proposed mine at Killavaat Alannguat. My research is part of a wider research project called Green Value.

About the project:

The Arctic is warming rapidly, which may change the balance of essential nutrients and harmful pollutants in its ecosystems. Yet how these substances move through food chains and potentially affect wildlife health remains poorly understood. ATCAF addressed this gap by linking landscape chemistry to wildlife health, while also developing non-invasive tools to assist wildlife monitoring. Combined, this will improve surveillance and conservation efforts in these remote and sensitive ecosystems.

Indirect interactions between different prey species modulated by shared predators (e.g. Arctic fox) are believed to have important impacts on the structure and/or dynamics of some communities. Yet, our understanding of these types of interactions is still fragmentary.

The operational aim of the project is to promote the implementation of several common protocols that will (1) improve each collaborators knowledge at the site level and, more importantly, that will (2) be merged across sites and years to improve our understanding of the functioning and the influence of indirect interactions on arctic vertebrate communities in general.

About the project:

ARCTIC BIOPAINTS is designed to move beyond traditional mineral extraction by establishing a high-value manufacturing chain within Greenland. Our project focuses on three pillars of local impact:

1. Value-Added Industry: Instead of exporting raw minerals, we propose the local formulation of sustainable coatings, creating a 'Made in Greenland' industrial brand for global export.

2. Scientific Cooperation: We prioritize local validation at Greenlandic laboratories (GEUS/GINR), fostering knowledge exchange between Argentine bioproduct expertise and Greenlandic mineralogy.

3. Environmental Stewardship: By utilizing Glacial Rock Flour (GRF) and natural pigments (Ochre/Graphite), we promote a circular economy that minimizes environmental footprints and supports CO2 sequestration goals.
Our mission is to empower Greenlandic resources through South-North technological synergy, ensuring that the economic and technical benefits remain within the local community."

Metals or Ice? Securitization, Critical Minerals and Climate Risk in Greenland’s Arctic Governance.

This thesis examines the geopolitical securitization of Greenland’s critical mineral resources and evaluates whether the economic benefits of extraction outweigh the systemic environmental risks associated with the destabilization of the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. At the same time, analyzing how discourse, political strategy and institutional capacity can be positioned in a way that Greenland doesn't remain a peripheral actor, controlled by foreign states but evolves into a meaningful actor in Arctic and global governance debates.

About the project:

Fieldwork and systemic design for a circular economy production system on sled dog food in the Arctic

I aim to use participatory and systemic design research to support the local, circular production of sled-

dog food by Milak Production, a new company in Sisimiut, Greenland, which constitutes a situated case

of local industrial symbiosis in the context of Greenlandic traditional hunting and sled-dog culture.

Milak is run by

traditional Greenlandic sled dog owners and it seeks to create sustainable, highly nutritious dog food

using locally available raw fish and meat waste from hunted animals such as halibut, seals, and sheep.

Their goal is to offer a circular, low-impact alternative to imported dry food, which is now widely used by

Greenlandic dog owners.  Through fieldwork with stakeholders and dog owners, and by studying Milak’s production chain, I aim to

co-develop a strategy to enhance the company’s circular system. Additionally, I will co-create ideas for

communication touchpoints (packaging, supply chain map, etc) to show how this local dog-food solution

benefits sled dogs, the Greenlandic environment and culture.
