His expertise is in economic geography and regional development in the Arctic, sustainability science, social indicators, impacts of development, benefit sharing, and sustainable economy in remote regions. He co-edited Arctic Social Indicators: Implementation (2015) and authored more than 40 publications on Arctic issues. Dr Petrov leads three NSF projects focused on resilience and sustainability. He also holds leadership roles in the International Arctic Social Sciences Association, International Arctic Science Committee and American Association of Geographers. Shauna BurnSilver is an Environmental Anthropologist who studies how socio-economic and climate changes affect relationships between people and the natural resources they depend on. Key questions of interest are how households, communities, and stakeholders define concepts of "well-being", "progress", "development" and "sustainability" given the intersection of strong socio-economic and political changes and long-term cultural histories of land use in particular landscapes, and how these perspectives translate into decisions within mixed economies at the scale of households and communities that matter for sustainability outcomes. She has worked in Arctic Alaska, Inner Mongolia, China, and Africa. F. Stuart Chapin III is Professor Emeritus of Ecology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. His research addresses the effects of changes in climate and wildfire on Alaskan ecology and rural communities. He also collaborates with communities and agencies to develop options that increase sustainability of ecosystems and human communities over the long term despite rapid climatic and social changes. His research in earth stewardship explores ways that society can proactively shape changes toward a more sustainable future through actions that enhance ecosystem resilience and human well-being. Gail Fondahl is a Professor of Geography at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Her PhD is from the University of California-Berkeley. Professor Fondahls research focuses on the legal geographies of indigenous territorial rights in the Russian North and the cultural and governance dimensions of Arctic sustainability. She serves as Canadas representative to, and Chair of, the International Arctic Science Committees Social & Human Sciences Working Group. Dr Fondahl was president of the International Arctic Social Sciences Association (20112014) and remains on IASSAs governing council.
