Her latest book Risky Futures: Climate, Geopolitics and Local Realities in the Uncertain Circumpolar North (Berghahn Book 2022) which she edited together with Barbara Bodenhorn focuses on the latest implications of climate change for our understanding of environmental risk, co-production of knowledge and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The projects look at the impact of climate change on knowledge production, environmental policies and indigenous adaptation patterns in Arctic and beyond.
