Session 2: Patterns in Arctic Human Dimensions In the context of human dimensions research, this session focuses on the relationship between general patterns and individual characteristics, the ability to generalize in human dimensions research, indicators of types of social-natural interactions, and a conceptual framework for human dimensions research.

Session 4 : Methods in Human Dimensions Research Within traditional disciplines, academic enquiry depends on established practices and methods. This session will concentrate on several key questions related to human/environment interactions research: What kinds of approaches are well-suited to human dimensions research? Do these methods help us to combine data from various disciplines? Do they encourage the lowering of communication barriers between disciplines? In short, what are the ‘standard methods’ that human dimensions researchers broadly agree on as central to the field of social-ecological systems?

"HARC research considers human activity, both within and outside the Arctic, as a link and vital driver among the terrestrial, marine, and climatic subsystems. Accordingly, the initiative provides a significant opportunity to integrate ecosystem and climate studies with a broad range of the social sciences." -- People and the Arctic: A Prospectus for Research on the Human Dimensions of the Arctic System.
