FIFO: Atlas of Oil and Gas Extractive Settlements in the Arctic

MSc Thesis 
TU Berlin
2025


The Arctic is an area of increasing political interest. The region is warming at a rate more than three times faster than anywhere else on Earth, resulting in extensive environmental transformations, such as the degradation of permafrost and sea ice. These changes challenge existing ecosystems and communities, and alter the conditions for human activity. While the vast reserves of oil, gas, and critical minerals have long made the Arctic an attractive area for exploration and extraction, climate change has made these resources more accessible.

Energy is everywhere—yet the vast infrastructural networks that power our daily lives remain largely invisible. Accounting for three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions, the energy sector stands at the center of our climate crisis and the transformations needed to address it. This book examines energy supply as a spatial and material phenomenon, exploring the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region through maps, drawings, texts, and photographs. It reveals the hidden geographies connecting energy production and consumption across scales—from household transformations to citywide configurations and regional supply networks. Tracing the flow of fossil and renewable energy carriers through territories, towns, and streets, Power, Flows, and Transformation offers a multi-layered portrait of our energy landscapes past, present, and future.
