Trym Eiterjord
Trym Eiterjord is a PhD student in Geography at the University of British Columbia and a Visiting Predoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. His research examines the relationship between twenty-first-century militarism and the earth sciences, and how intensifying great-power rivalry between the United States and China is reshaping research collaboration in Earth system science. His doctoral project explores the discursive construction of ‘dual-use research,’ focusing on China’s earth-scientific foray into the polar regions.
