Based on ethnographic research at the Abisko Scientific Research Station in northernmost Sweden, my research examines what exists between the information that environmental scientists produce and the work of producing the information. I aim to tell a story that reinserts environmental science into place, both showing how scientists are already centring human and non-human needs in Abisko while also extracting from the place for the “greater good”, which is usually global climate targets. In essence, this is a project about dynamics between global and local-focused care for the environment at a research station in northern Sweden.
