UrbTrans is interested in how Nuuk, the capital city of Kalaallit Nuunat, has been planned and developed since the 1950s and up until today. It looks at the tools, procedures and government agencies involved in building and shaping Nuuk, and how this has changed with the shifts to Home Rule (1979) and Self Rule (2009). A major part of the project is therefore to study historical and archival materials. Equally important, however, is to understand how Nuuk's development has been experienced, reflected upon and acted towards by its people. Conversations, stories, art, and culture can help us to understand both the changes and the everyday life of the city. Through this we hope to gain a better understanding of the connections between colonialism and urbanisation in Kalaallit Nunaat, as well as the role played by Nuuk in its decolonisation. More broadly we think this can contribute to a better understanding of what Nordic colonialism in the Arctic has been, and to a stronger awareness within the Arctic and the Nordic countries about how the past is shaping both the present and the shared futures of the Arctic region.

UrbTrans is conducted in cooperation with partners at Ilisimatusarfik (University of Greenland), Greenland National Museum & Archives, and Nuuk Local Museum. Through this we hope to build new and stronger bonds for collaboration between the cities of Romsa/Tromsø and Nuuk, and to conduct our research in ways that are both sensitive to and can benefit Nuuk's community.

ArcticHubs EU H2020 (https://projects.luke.fi/arctichubs/)  is an ongoing project that looks at reconciling the tensions around competing land/sea uses and livelihoods in the Arctic. In September 2023 we hope to use the platform of one cruise ship when it is in Nuuk, to introduce these issues from a Greenlandic perspective (via project partner GINR) - discuss 'destinations' experiences of cruise tourism and the directions that may lead to more sensitive experiences for local communties.

Macroalgae and Glacial sands - the need for new techniques for ecologic study on these emerging resource opportunities in Greenland. This proposal addresses the need for a holistic approach to designing and deploying new sampling techniques in relation to ecologic study in Greenland, and how design thinking can help to achieve this.

lise@narsaqresearchstation.gl  | Narsaq International Research Station  | Director

UK Greenland Networking Bursary, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)’s Arctic Office at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS)

Led by Professor Lise Autogena (PI), Design Futures, Dr Robert D. Storrar, Department of the Natural and Built Environment, Sheffield Hallam, David Blockley, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINS) Co-I (marine science), Nymand, Head of Department, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (marine science)

This proposal addresses the need for a holistic approach to designing and deploying new sampling techniques in relation to ecologic study in Greenland, and how design thinking can help to achieve this. Greenland’s economy is dominated by the exploitation of natural resources, however as fisheries are facing potential threats from climate change, there is a need to diversify the economy. With climate change making land areas more accessible, income from mineral resources may become increasingly important, given Greenland's mineral wealth and proximity to European and North American markets.
Two areas of potential natural resource development have been identified by Government of Greenland: Marine Macroalgae and Glacial Flour, deposited by glacial melting, that is becoming an attractive source of abundant fertiliser. Currently, understanding of the ecosystems relating to these resources and the potential impact from extractive activities is lacking. These environments can be difficult to reach due to their remoteness and extreme conditions. For these reasons, new and novel sampling methods are required that are cost effective, easily transportable, and deployable to maximise the data that is captured. These new approaches will be paired with technology and techniques that allow for community science to actively participate in the data gathering and interpretation processes. This combined process represents a new approach to environmental research in Greenland.

The on-going climate crisis is already causing major landscape instability and threatening social challenges for Greenlandic communities. Constraining the nature and magnitude of landscape change, and its social consequences, is vital for managing future resilience. However, current analytical approaches are unable to meaningfully unite physical and social spheres. A new approach is needed to place local community expertise at the centre of Arctic scientific analysis and priority planning; pivotal to the ICARP III strategy, though currently underutilised. ‘Landscapes of Change’ will provide a new benchmark interdisciplinary, co-production approach to integrate scientific research with local and traditional knowledge.

Working closely with local residents in Narsaq, South Greenland. ‘Landscapes of Change’ will use creative writing to deliver the first step towards sustainable, long-term knowledge exchange. There are four key deliverables:
1) Detailed regional environmental reconstructions 1950-present;
2) A lake-based sedimentary record of landscape dynamics, verified using monitored data and local accounts;
3) Multilingual, creative writing collections published nationally and internationally, to communicate Arctic community experiences and priorities within and beyond Greenland;
4) A benchmark framework for other stakeholders (local communities, researchers, governments) to facilitate co-operative capacity building and science-policy transfer in line with ICARP III.

The Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, England, is a UN Ocean Decade Implementing Partner. Our research connects scientific data to community actions to address three Ocean Decade Challenges: protecting and restoring ecosystems and biodiversity; developing a sustainable and equitable ocean economy; and changing humanity’s relationship to the ocean. Through design research, we work across disciplines, engage stakeholders and use whole systems thinking to tackle ocean issues.

As part of this research, we are examining relationships between coastal communities and the ocean in the UK and Greenland from the perspectives of climate change, resilience and new economic models.

We recently mapped a ship route from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, to Poole, England, documenting natural and human-made “ocean objects,” from whales and birds to boats and garbage. Next we will conduct design workshops with coastal communities in England to better understand their relationships to the ocean and objects.

We are interested in doing similar work in Greenland, running several small workshops with residents and organisations in Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk in late summer or early fall of this year. We hope to compare and connect coastal communities in Greenland and the UK, two countries that face serious challenges related to the ocean and climate change. This research will help to bridge scientific data with human behaviour and lived experiences. It will support further opportunities for collaboration and participatory design, leading to new products, services, policies and systems for a healthy ocean.

Arctic land use can heat up emotions

Climate change is projected to alter the Arctic more dramatically than any other region in the world. The Arctic today faces extraordinary pressures, with globalization and the climate crisis combining to drive change at an unprecedented rate. The opening up of new economic sectors, including mining and tourism, alongside the industrialization of many traditional livelihoods, such as fishing and forestry, are driving land use conflicts between competing sectors, and producing profound transformations on lives and communities at the economic, socio-cultural, political and environmental levels.

The ArcticHubs project is seeking to resolve conflicts over local resources and land through the use of new adaptive tools and approaches.

WHAT'S NEW?

ArcticHubs - How it works

The ArcticHubs project is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary international collaboration that aims to develop research-led, practice-based solutions to help address the urgent challenges faced in the Arctic.

The project will work towards this goal through four specific objectives:

Map and analyse global drivers influencing the future of the Arctic and explore how different kinds of global Actors in the region understand their social, economic and environmental responsibilities.

Identify and quantify environmental, socioeconomic, cultural and political impacts of current industrial activities in the Arctic, and assess how predicted changes in activity resulting from adaptive responses to climate change will affect these impacts.

Using a co-design approach, develop interactive tools for decision and policymakers to maximize uptake of knowledge of local situations and tensions, and to provide channels for continuous communication and dialogue with stakeholder groups.

Using foresight methods, change the perspective from that of the present to the near future, with the aim of broadening consensus on developmental goals for the region.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
UrbTrans is interested in how Nuuk, the capital city of Kalaallit Nuunat, has been planned and developed since the 1950s and up until today. It looks at the tools, procedures and government agencies involved in building and shaping Nuuk, and how this has changed with the shifts to Home Rule (1979) and Self Rule (2009). A major part of the project is therefore to study historical and archival materials. Equally important, however, is to understand how Nuuk's development has been experienced, reflected upon and acted towards by its people. Conversations, stories, art, and culture can help us to understand both the changes and the everyday life of the city. Through this we hope to gain a better understanding of the connections between colonialism and urbanisation in Kalaallit Nunaat, as well as the role played by Nuuk in its decolonisation. More broadly we think this can contribute to a better understanding of what Nordic colonialism in the Arctic has been, and to a stronger awareness within the Arctic and the Nordic countries about how the past is shaping both the present and the shared futures of the Arctic region.

UrbTrans is conducted in cooperation with partners at Ilisimatusarfik (University of Greenland), Greenland National Museum & Archives, and Nuuk Local Museum. Through this we hope to build new and stronger bonds for collaboration between the cities of Romsa/Tromsø and Nuuk, and to conduct our research in ways that are both sensitive to and can benefit Nuuk's community.

Jeg er ansat som adjunkt med ph.d.-forløb (2019 - 2025) med følgende titel: " Udeskole som undervisningsform til at fremme læring og motivation i den grønlandske folkeskole".

Projektet udføres som et aktionsforskningsprojekt i tæt samarbejde med skoler og lærere om at udvikle didaktiske designs i udeskole i en grønlandsk kontekst. Stedbaseret læring, den grønlandske natur og kultur samt lokale ressourcer søges inddraget i udvikling af undervisningsforløb og didaktiske designs i alle skolens fag og i tværfaglige forløb.

Udeskole er som pædagogisk arbejdsform elevinvolverende og skaber forbindelse til den verden, eleven kender udenfor skolen (Jordet 1998, 2010), hvilket giver eleverne en øget motivation og dybdelæring (Ladekjær, Jacobsen, and Jensen 2018; Bølling et al. 2018; Otte 2018; Nielsen et al. 2016; Fägerstam and Blom 2013). Studier har vist, at denne undervisningsform med stedbaseret læring er velegnet blandt børn, der vokser op i isolerede områder, hvilket er vilkårene for mange bygdeskoler i Grønland (Sianturi, Chiang, and Hurit 2018; Borden and Wiseman 2016; Boyer 2006;). Det er projektets antagelse, at udeskole udviklet i en grønlandsk kontekst vil fremme motivation og læring.

Southern Greenlandic fjord systems are emblematic landscapes at the heart of the socio-economic and cultural environments of local communities.

Accelerated climate change impacts southern Greenland fjord ecosystems and livelihoods profoundly on land and in the ocean. Fjords are particularly vulnerable because they lie at the nexus between the cryosphere, ocean, land, atmosphere and biosphere.

Within GreenFjord, we will explore the socio-cultural and environmental interactions by focusing our research on two different fjord systems: a marine and a terrestrial terminating glacier. Our efforts are organized around six clusters: cryosphere, land, ocean, atmosphere, biodiversity and human.

Map current biodiversity

ECOTIP will investigate the current biodiversity of Arctic marine ecosystems and its past and present interaction with external drivers (multiple stressors such as climate change and pollution), using traits of marine communities as a measure of functional diversity

Investigate ecosystem functions

ECOTIP will investigate the link between the trait diversity and resistance, resilience and persistence of marine communities, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services with regard to multiple anthropogenic stressors, and to determine the potential for ecosystem tipping cascades

Analyse functional diversity

ECOTIP will predict the effect of changing functional (trait) diversity for the local production and type of fisheries and for the carbon sequestration through biological pump under multiple anthropogenic stressors

Develop adaptation strategies

ECOTIP will co-create alternative governance structures and adaptation strategies for the local communities, industries and regulatory authorities at the Arctic

Support scientific assessments of Arctic biodiversity

ECOTIP will ensure the effective exploitation of project results in international scientific assessments of Arctic biodiversity change and by policy-makers, as well as ensuring dialogue, communication and dissemination to indigenous societies and European citizens, and providing recommendations for optimizing the monitoring of Arctic biodiversity and ecosystem services
