2025
- Seabed Anchorage Curtain project—a research initiative from UArctic’s Thematic Network on Frozen Arctic Conservation
- Panel in Climate Week NYC
- Seabed curtain project featured in the Guardian
- "Exploit or Empower: Pros and Cons of Researching Interventions in the Arctic" at Arctic Spirit Conference
- Presentations at the event “Bridging the Oceans” at Arctic Spirit Conference (Ilona Mettiäinen)
- The Glacier Stewardship Program – an international team responding to the global loss of glaciers
- The Glacier Stewardship Program is a first-of-its kind initiative that will develop innovative, science-backed strategies to slow glacier melt locally, mitigate glacier-related hazards, and preserve the microbial biodiversity locked in glacier ice.
- Preserving Our Glaciers: Interventions to Slow Glacier Melt
- online webinar hosted by Healthy Climate Initiative
- Various panels and talks. Most members of FAC TN present
- Degrees Global Forum, Cape Town, 300 mostly global south participants

- High Level Seminar: October 11-12 2022, and pre-assembly public session, Greenland (Nuuk and Ilulissat), Reykjavik (Arctic Circle Assembly)
The seminar will bring together experts and stakeholders with the objective of reassuring stakeholders in Arctic communities that the Thematic Network on Frozen Arctic Conservation is respecting the Arctic peoples’ opinions and collaboratively seek strategies to deal with the rapidly heating Arctic. Gain endorsement/approval/acceptance of continued research in the topic through co-production of knowledge in Greenland and other places. Co-produce knowledge on interventions in the cryosphere and solar geoengineering. A key topic is an ocean/glaciological intervention aimed at conserving the Greenland ice sheet/empowering communities. This may be to design the icesheet outlet Jakobshavn glacier/Ilulissat fjord configuration, or slow/control retreat of the Northeast Greenland ice stream (79N/Zacharie Glacler). Discussion on solar geoengineering and sustainable land management methods (e.g. EU Charter project).
- Co-design and community engagement in Ilulissat, Greenland on the Greenland ice sheet Jakobshavn glacier and fjord system, in particular impacts on halibut fisheries. This will be done with community workshops and youth activities. A Youth Science-Art competition and exhibition will be inaugurated in Nuuk in October, and then will travel to the Arktikum exhibition space in Rovaniemi.
- Co-design with reindeer herders in the Eurasian Arctic and their commissioning of research in potential sustainable land use practice and its climate feedbacks.
