The ARCUS Arctic Research Seminar Series brings some of the leading
Arctic researchers to Washington, D.C. to share the latest findings and
what they mean for decision-making. These seminars will be of interest
to federal agency officials, congressional staff, non-governmental
organizations, associations, and the public.
This seminar titled "Development on Ice: Social and Economic Impacts of
Arctic Transportation Infrastructure" will be presented by Mia Bennett
and will discuss the mechanisms connecting northern communities to
regional and global transportation networks.
Mia Bennett is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at the
University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and founder and editor of
the Cryopolitics blog. Her research examines the drivers and impacts of
contemporary Arctic industrial development by merging fieldwork, policy
analysis, and remote sensing. Currently, she focuses on transportation
infrastructure projects in Canada's Northwest Territories and the
Russian Far East. Mia received an Master of Philosophy degree in Polar
Studies from the University of Cambridge, where her research focused on
the roles of China, Japan, and South Korea in the Arctic. She speaks
French, Swedish, and Russian and has traveled extensively in the Arctic,
from the Greenland Ice Sheet to northeast Russia. She shares photographs
from her journeys on her blog and can be followed on Twitter at
