Forming Resourcescape: The Impact of Industry on Human –Landscape Relations in the Finnish North (FORCE).

_{The aim of this project is to conduct ethnographic, archival, and visual research focusing on human connections to landscape and industry in the Finnish North.}

_{The project focuses on the settlement of Leppiniemi (Muhos), built in the 1940s–1960s next to the Pyhäkoski hydropower plant and later considered as a potential site for a wind power park and a Google data centre. It argues that analysing local extractive histories can provide valuable insights into how Northern residents relate to contemporary energy transitions.}
