Routledge Research in Polar Regions SERIES EDITED BY TIMOTHY HELENIAK

https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Research-in-Polar-Regions/book-series/RRPS

This series seeks to include research and policy debates about trends and events taking place in two important world regions, the Arctic and Antarctic. With climate change, resource development, and shifting geopolitics, these regions are becoming increasingly crucial to events outside these regions. At the same time, the economies, societies, and natural environments of the Arctic are undergoing rapid change. This series draws on fieldwork, satellite observations, archival studies, and other research methods to inform about crucial developments in the Polar regions. It is interdisciplinary in nature, containing cutting Notes Northern edge empirical and theoretical insights on the latest thinking in the field.
