This term series will deal on UK-Russia Polar Research and Education, and will feature a mixture of Russian-based and UK-based researchers who will present both ongoing research projects and initiatives aimed at facilitating UK-Russian research cooperation. Needless to say, the Russian Arctic comprises a huge (and huge is perhaps an understatement in this context) portion of the Arctic, hence the importance of exploring what goes on in there, and what the possibilities of conducting research there are.
