Kelly Hogan is a Marine Geophysicist at the British Antarctic Survey, based in Cambridge in the UK. She received her PhD from the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, and is currently the PI of two projects in Greenland investigating ocean-forced glacier retreat, funded by UK funding agencies, NERC and ARIA. Her personal research focuses on reconstructing the flow and retreat patterns of past ice sheets from seafloor landforms and sediments but she enjoys collaborating with remote-sensors, glaciologists, numerical modellers and oceanographers to study ice sheets in a holistic and multidisciplinary way. Although working in both Polar Regions, in the Arctic she has extensive experience working in fjords around Svalbard, and studying glacier retreat from East, West and Northwest Greenland.

Janne Flora is Associate Professor at the Department of Anthropology, Aarhus University, and Centre Leader of AUNA: AU Centre for North Atlantic and Arctic Research. She received her PhD from the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, and is PI of Hunting Life: Explorations in Biosociality in Greenland (Carlsberg Foundation). Her research focuses on human–environment relations and questions of sustainability in hunting communities, particularly in East and Northwest Greenland. She has extensive experience collaborating with Greenlandic hunters and across disciplines, and is especially interested in how different forms of expertise meet. Her work explores how knowledge is produced, negotiated, and sometimes contested; both between scientists and local communities, and across the boundaries of the natural and social sciences.

David Harning is a Research Scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and affiliate with NOAA's NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. He received his PhD jointly from the University of Iceland and University of Colorado Boulder. His research currently focuses on how Holocene climate impacts glaciers, shrubs, and carbon cycling in lake and marine environments, with an emphasis on Iceland. To do so, he develops and uses geochemical tools based on lipids, stable isotopes, and ancient DNA, and incorporates new geochronological, data science, and modeling approaches.
