Analysis of the social and cultural impacts of permafrost thaw in the coastal Russian Arctic: case study of Tiksi and Bykovsky (Republic of Sakha, Russian Federation)
The Arctic is a vast and heterogeneous region known for its extreme climatic and environmental conditions. Humans have inhabitedthese territories for centuries. Recently, the effects of climate change in the Russian Arctic have gained visibility worldwide because of the role it plays in the regulati...

The Arctic is a vast and heterogeneous region known for its extreme climatic and environmental conditions. Humans have inhabitedthese territories for centuries. Recently, the effects of climate change in the Russian Arctic have gained visibility worldwide because of the role it plays in the regulation of the global climate system, as well as in various geophysical and biological processes. Scientific research often focuses on the material dimension of climate change and permafrost thawing, neglecting the importance of the nonmaterial dimension of these processes. This research proposes a broader perspective and analyzes the impacts on the stakeholders, elements and interactions that form the basis of the social configuration and cultural aspects of the coastal communities of Tiksi and Bykovsky (Bulunsky District, Russian Federation).
