In light of increased interest in the econo mic and military potential of Greenland from the former and current US Pres idential administrations, and the strong potential for Greenlandic independ ence in the coming years, APECS Science & Diplomacy will host a robust roundtable event on the role of science and scientists in US-Greenlandic re lations.
Drs. Ronald Doel (Florida State University), Kristine Harper (University of Copenhagen), Kristian Nielsen (Aarhus University), and Mark Nuttall (University of Alberta) will be speak ing to a range of topics from Camp Century and Thule Air Base to rare earth metal mining and ancient climate reconstruction. Their discussion will be followed by breakout groups for attendees to discuss the complex issues inv olved and consider the ways that science and scientists impact internationa l relations. The goal of the roundtable is to highlight how “science in dip lomacy” and “diplomacy in science” operate in a specific and critical inter national relationship in the Arctic, taking into account the US relationshi p with Denmark, but focusing foremost on bilateral US-Greenlandic relations past and future.
