Current research

Researching factors shaping Russian climate change policy and the connection between international assessment processes and Russian domestic decision-making in  Beyond Kyoto: Science, Policy-Making and the Future Direction of Russia’s Climate Change Politics .

Mapping the interface between climate change politics in Russia and energy policy as part of  Russian and Caspian energy developments and their implications for Norway and Norwegian actors (RUSSCASP). 

The project Coming into the Cold: Asia’s Arctic interests will examine the increasing Arctic interests of four key Asian states (China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea) and illustrate how Arctic states (US, Norway, Russia) are meeting this growing interest.

Also involved in the projects MODNORTH and Great Power, Arctic Power.
