The Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) is an independent Norwegian foundation engaged in research on international environmental, energy, and resource management politics and law. The main disciplines are political science and international law, but FNI researchers also hold degrees in economics, geography, history, and social anthropology, and have special language and regional competence on Russia and China.

Within this framework, the institute’s research is mainly grouped around seven focal points: Global environmental governance and law, Climate change, Law of the Sea and marine affairs, Biodiversity and genetic resources, Polar and Russian politics, European energy and environment, Chinese energy and environment.  FNI’s activities include academic studies, contract research, investigations, and evaluations. 

The Permafrost Laboratory deals with scientific questions related to the circumpolar permafrost dynamics and feedbacks between permafrost and global change. At the Permafrost Laboratory, data related to the thermal and structural state of circumpolar permafrost is collected and analyzed. The focus of our research is the development of methods to physically and mathematically model permafrost interactions with the climate system (permafrost modeling), the study of naturally and human induced disturbances of permafrost (permafrost process studies), the detection of changes in permafrost temperature, thickness, and distribution over time (permafrost monitoring), and the prediction of impacts of permafrost changes on the natural environment (e.g. ecosystems, hydrology, carbon cycle) as well as human-related concerns (e.g. infrastructure)
