Tromsø
The doctoral candidate will collaborate closely with planning experts within the different sections of Tromsø Municipality. The landscape laboratory site, which is owned by Tromsø Municipality, is located at the northern tip of Tromsøya, an island home to one of the largest urban settlements in the Arctic. The landscape laboratory site is a former gneiss quarry that for several years has been used as a landfill. Parts of the site are still actively used as a deposit for clean masses, other parts have been decommissioned and left to ecological succession. The site is host to a novel ecosystem, exemplifies material processes characterising the Anthropocene, and has potential as a new kind of public space.
