Greta is a PhD researcher in the Department of Geography at Durham University and part of the Durham Arctic Research Centre for Training and Interdisciplinary Collaboration (DurhamARCTIC).

Her research examines mobilities of, in and around sea ice in Alaska’s Bering Sea. She engages with the changing materiality of oceans as dynamic and interactive volumes of water and ice. This offers a lens for revealing the ways in which different subjects, perspectives and ways of knowing intersect to give insight into the entanglement of perception, cognition, movement and stasis that constitutes mobility.

In the past, her work has focused on soundscapes to offer a critical analysis of the sensory experience of urban conflict in Jerusalem. Attentiveness to aural encounters reveals a deeper understanding of people-space interactions and informs a more holistic take on the reciprocal relation between individuals and their surroundings.
