Washington, Oct 30 : A Florida State University (FSU) researcher is leading an international team that is working to produce one of the most comprehensive histories to date of the Arctic region from the late 19th century to the present.
The researcher in question is Ronald E. Doel, an associate professor of history at FSU, who is the project leader of “Colony, Empire, Environment: A Comparative International History of Twentieth Century Arctic Science,” a 1.1 million dollar project funded by the European Science Foundation.
Nine historians from seven nations - the United States, Canada, England, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Russia - are working on this innovative research effort.
