Vegetation and climate impacts on active layer thickness in palsas: insights from 13 years of field course data
Global climate warming has resulted in the circumpolar degradation of palsa mires. While climate is a key driver of palsa distribution and stability, local factors such as vegetation also influence permafrost dynamics. However, studies on the effects of vegetation on active layer thickness (ALT) in…

The joy of geography: Fieldwork in research, teaching, and collaboration
In the field, geographers engage directly with natural and human environments. In this discussion article, I argue that the discipline of geography fundamentally relies on fieldwork in research, teaching, and collaboration. I defend the value of field data in an era of abundant digital data, as…

Researching regenerative tourism: Call for participatory, inclusive and reflective fieldwork
This essay explores how qualitative fieldwork in regenerative tourism research can be approached to foster more impactful and ethical scholarship. Arguing that regenerative tourism research must itself be transformative and align with regenerative thinking, the essay identifies three key principles…

Walking with plastic waste
Plastic waste in cities creates a paradox: it is everywhere in daily life yet often escapes notice. While previous studies have highlighted plastic’s persistence and visibility as pollution, less attention has been given to its subtle, everyday disappearances in Nordic urban settings. This article…

Beyond the insider/outsider: negotiating researcher’s positionality and reflexivity in the field
This intervention paper examines the lived realities and methodological complexities of conducting fieldwork in rural Indonesia, focusing on the geographies of extractive industries and transparency in natural resource revenue management. Drawing on personal field experiences of interviewing people…

Hybrid fieldwork in tourism geography: reflections on digital and in-person methods in Arctic museum research
In recent years, the distinction between physical and digital fieldwork in tourism studies has gradually faded. This shift is visible not only in tourism production and consumption, but also in the ways tourists interact with destinations and communities. Drawing on personal reflections and…

Transition to carbon-neutral tourism: A demand-driven approach
As the climate consequences of tourism become increasingly difficult to overlook, understanding how carbon implications shape travel decisions has emerged as a critical yet underexplored research focus. Although scholarship on tourism-related emissions has expanded substantially, the field has paid…

Integrating multi-source geospatial data to monitor peatland red-listed plant species, greenhouse gas dynamics, and the water table
Peatlands are important ecosystems that support biodiversity, regulate greenhouse gases (GHGs) and flooding, and help to purify water. In Finland, however, more than 50 % of peatlands have been drained to support forestry, agriculture, and peat extraction. These activities have reduced peatland…

Structured unsustainability: institutional limits and temporal politics in sustainable tourism governance
Environmental sustainability has become a widely institutionalised goal across governance levels and policy domains, yet tourism continues to pose challenges for substantive transformation. As a sector characterised by high mobility, carbon intensity, and dispersed responsibility, tourism…

Assessing ecosystem services across scales: Potential, supply, and demand of provisioning and cultural services
Ecosystems provide us with countless benefits, such as material resources, regulation of environmental processes, and opportunities for recreation. These benefits, known as ecosystem services (ES), support our daily welfare and well-being. ES arise from ecological, sociocultural, and economic…

Teaching human geography fieldwork during COVID-19: Challenges and new possibilities
Fieldwork has long been a cornerstone of geographical research, and field courses have likewise served as an essential means of engaging with the key issues that define the discipline, both in physical and human geography. In human geography field courses, students learn to use qualitative methods…

Fine-scale geodiversity in northern environments – connections with biodiversity patterns and land use
Geodiversity is gaining recognition in research and is an important addition to holistic ways of understanding and studying nature. However, there is a lack of fine-scale methods to observe and quantify fine-scale geodiversity. This thesis aims to improve our understanding of fine-scale…

The elastic field and time-space entanglements: insights from ship-time fieldwork in the Arctic
Ship-time fieldwork on expedition cruise ships is peculiar as the field never truly ends. Every moment spent onboard can potentially become valuable data, and the field can spatially expand far beyond the ship itself during landings and activities ashore. Drawing from two fieldwork campaigns at…

An autoethnography of affective–moral dilemmas in writing about authoritarian and patriarchal contexts
Research ethics teach us how to protect the people we portray in our studies. Yet while researchers hold the power to harm participants through what they write, they are also vulnerable in the writing process itself. In this autoethnographic piece, I revisit six moments from my recent fieldwork in…

Notes from the field: An interdisciplinary perspective on the experiences, challenges and solutions for conducting fieldwork in glacial and periglacial environments
Interdisciplinary research approaches are critical to understanding the profound shifts in glacial and periglacial environments due to climate change. However, conducting fieldwork in these geographies often involves navigating the complexities of situated narratives, traditionally dominated by…

Geospatial analysis of permafrost thaw-induced slope processes and their hazard potential across the Arctic
In recent decades, the Arctic has warmed at a rate that significantly exceeds the global mean, a phenomenon commonly referred to as Arctic amplification. Studies consistently show that Arctic temperatures are increasing at a rate roughly two to four times the global average, highlighting the…

The Racialised Geographies of the Far-Right: Climate Politics in Finland and Russia
As the climate crisis is worsening, we have witnessed a re-emergence of the authoritarian and racist far-right. The interdisciplinary scholarship on political ecologies of the far-right has shown that the far-right has found an array of different responses to the global ecological crisis. The…

Transformative Transparency for Local Natural Resource Revenue Management
Extractive sector transparency has emerged as an important policy tool in addressing resource-related challenges. However, the implementation of extractive sector transparency initiatives has not often had transformative impacts on the ground. The initiatives often fall short in increasing public…

Residential environment, physical activity and depressive symptoms in adults
Depression is, at its worst, a fatal disease and a significant factor threatening work ability. Recent studies have suggested physical activity as an effective treatment for depression. Scientific evidence on the beneficial association between physical activity and depressive symptoms is strong…

The causes and consequences of 21st century global sea level rise on Morecambe Bay, U.K.
As 21st Century anthropogenic carbon emissions increasingly perturb Earth’s atmospheric composition, an accessible understanding of how greenhouse gas driven climate change manifests on natural and human systems becomes crucial to public awareness. Here, we investigate the contemporary causes and…
