Marisol Maddox is a Senior Arctic Fellow at the Institute of Arctic Studies in the Dickey Center at Dartmouth. Her transdisciplinary research considers the Arctic nexus of climate change, security, and geopolitics. She is particularly interested in how actorless threats— such as climate change and ecological upheaval-- converge and interface with conventional security challenges and strategic thinking.
Ms. Maddox has served as a non-partisan Arctic subject matter expert for the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars since 2018, and has been a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations since 2022. She has taught a graduate level course on Environmental Security as an adjunct professor, and she regularly teaches about the Arctic at the Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies, the Foreign Service Institute, and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, among other institutions.
Additionally, Ms. Maddox previously contributed Arctic expertise through work with the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats and the Newport Arctic Scholars Initiative of the U.S. Naval War College. Her commentary has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Business Insider, and Science among other outlets.
