Championing knowledge networks to empower Arctic communities and ecosystems.

What I Bring

My academic background in Precambrian geology and isotope geochemistry laid the groundwork for a career centred on environmental stewardship. At GRID-Arendal, I served as Polar Programme Manager, contributing to the early development of the Arctic Council and working closely with Indigenous Peoples’ Organisations. Since 2002, I have led UArctic, expanding its network to over 200 member institutions across 20 countries. Together, we have established thematic networks and institutes that promote education and research tailored to the needs of northern communities.

My Focus Areas

In My Own Words

To combat climate change, we must protect the Earth’s cold regions.
