Before I started my year of ethnographic fieldwork here in Abisko (68.3495° N, 18.8312° E) at the scientific research station, my plan was to work with Arctic environmental scientists to see what collaboration means to them and how they practice collaborations. My hope was that this could give a picture of how expertise about Arctic climate change is developed and stabilized. Since arriving here, as often happens during a period of extended fieldwork, I have found that there are more reflective strands to follow if I am looking to get a picture of how Arctic climate science expertise is formed, especially if I am interested in also grasping the relationship between Arctic science and society.
