Nikolay (Kolia) Shiklomanov is a Professor of Geography at the George Washington University. He received an MA in Geography at SUNY Albany and a Ph.D. in Climatology at the University of Delaware. His main area of interest is permafrost and its interactions with natural and human systems. His research includes long-term permafrost observations in the high northern latitudes, permafrost-related process studies, and the effect of permafrost on human activity and infrastructure. He is also interested in the socioeconomic impacts of climate change in the Arctic. Since the early 1990s, he has been actively participating in fieldwork in the North American and Eurasian Arctic. Prof. Shiklomanov teaches courses in Physical Geography, Climatology, and Arctic Environments.
