Abstract As climate change becomes an increasing concern in Europe, the bioeconomy could challenge previous conceptualizations about how states, citizens and corporations interact in everyday practices of natural resources governance. In Finland, there are efforts to support the transition towards the bio-based economy and to reform forest governance to respond to local circumstances while mitigating...
Abstract The Arctic is a remote area and relatively clean. Nevertheless, it can at times be polluted and characterized by high aerosol concentrations. This talk will discuss the sources of the aerosol both during the polluted Arctic Haze period as well as during the cleaner period in summer. Special attention will be given to absorbing...

The Economy of Ecology uses highly visual, physical storytelling to tell an urgent and provocative tale about relationships, communication and our impact on the natural world. This show has previously been developed with and performed at Slung Low’s HUB...
Abstract Convective cloud fields are populations of evolving objects, interacting with their environment but also with each other. Such population-internal dynamics can play a key role in the immediate response of a convective cloud field to an external forcing, and its subsequent interaction with the larger-scale flow and climate. Population-internal dynamical feedbacks have been identified...
