The editors would like to acknowledge the generous funding for January 2019 Advanced Research Workshop in Finland from NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Programme, which inspired this book. The editors also thank the many participants who attended this meeting and contributed their ideas to improve the international assessment and governance of Arctic resilience and cybersecurity.
Additional gratitude is due to the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, which supported Drs. Linkov and Trump in their work related to resilience of Hybrid Threats. The editors are thankful for the support of Dr. Ilker Adiguzel, who personally attended and opened the workshop in Rovaniemi.
We would like to acknowledge our internal production editors. Miriam Pollock spent considerable effort to prepare all chapters for submission. Additional support for internal editing and review is greatly appreciated by Kaitlin Volk. Trump, Hossain, and Linkov acknowledge and thank Mr. George Siharulidze, who crafted and illustrated several scientific figures for this work.
The editors are also grateful for Decision Partners, who provided administrative support for the workshop, and for the University of Lapland, who provided logistical and on-site support as hosts for the event.
