Migration In Harmony: An Interdisciplinary Network in Littoral Species, Settlements, and Cultures on the Move (MiH-RCN) is an international, cross-disciplinary network of Arctic migration researchers funded by the National Science Foundation. 

MiH-RCN will advance knowledge on how the migrations of Arctic ecosystems, economies, peoples, and cultures interact with one another, and how the social, geohazard, and economic drivers and consequences of migrations intersect across different fields. We do this by:
  • Synthesizing existing data and linking ongoing initiatives to fill research gap
  • Implementing creative participatory methods to broaden participation in migration research
  • Build and support collaborative teams for new research projects
MiH-RCN thrives because of the diversity of its members. To accomplish our goal, we need traditional knowledge holders, natural scientists, engineers, students, economists, social scientists, health professionals, cultural heritage workers, educators — and YOU to join our free network!
