Since 1976, for many years, Rasmus Ole worked at Roskilde University, Denmark, at the Department of Geography. He received a PhD in Regional analysis based on the modelling o f human influenced ecosystems. His subsequent research focused on social, environmental, and economic transformations in the global Arctic, including demographic and climatic changes and trends in urbanization processes. In recent years, Rasmus Ole had been working at Nordregio (Stockholm, Sweden), a leading research centre for regional development and planning, established by the Nordic Council o f Ministers. R. O. Rasmussen is one o f the pioneers o f international scientific cooperation in the North and the Arctic, which for our Institute began in the 1990-s. He was an organizer and active participant o f many international conferences, and the founder and leader o f the summer schools for young scientists and doctoral students in different regions o f the Arctic — in Alaska and the Kola Peninsula, in Canada and Greenland, in Svalbard and the Faroe Islands. Within the frame o f the CASS (Circumpolar Arctic Social Science) PhD network, created on the initiative o f Professor Rasmussen, nine international schools for young scientists were organized in the period 1995-2007. More than 160 graduate students received training there, and more than 70 scientists from different countries have contributed to the organization of these schools. At the invitation o f Rasmus, scientists from our Institute regularly participated in the organisation and work o f the CASS courses. Rasmus Ole Rasmussen collaborated closely with Gennady Pavlovich Luzin, the first director o f our Institute — the Institute for Economic Studies, Kola Science Centre, RAS (IES). Since 2002, Rasmus Ole had been a regular participant in the traditional conferences o f the IES “Luzin Readings”, where he always delivered invited plenary reports. He also supported the IES conferences with grants. He was a member o f the International Editorial Board o f the journal “North and Market: Formation o f the Economic Order”, published by our Institute. Thanks to the collaboration o f R. O. Rasmussen with IES, many international research projects have been implemented, and books and articles have been published [1-3]. Rasmus Ole had many colleagues and friends at our Institute. On their behalf, we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We are grateful to Rasmus for the years o f fruitful scientific cooperation and true friendship, and for the new knowledge about the Arctic that we gained while working with him. 138
