À propos de l'auteur

Dmytro Havrilenko writes about the meeting point between environmental knowledge and state power: the places where maps, models, and institutional routines shape what strategy can realistically do. His approach is grounded in nonfiction craft and an academic sensibility, treating operational questions as problems of evidence, incentives, and decision design rather than as tales of inevitable outcomes. He is especially interested in how organisations talk themselves into confidence, how uncertainty travels through chains of command, and how "support" functions such as forecasting become decisive when time is short.In Weather as Weapon, Forecast as Advantage, Havrilenko brings a clear editorial eye to a subject that is often split between technical meteorology and abstract strategy. He writes for readers who want concepts they can test: how to connect a forecast horizon to a decision gate, how to recognise when accuracy is the wrong standard, and why resilience sometimes matters more than precision. A subtle historical thread runs through his work: northern frontiers have long rewarded those who can read conditions quickly, while punishing those who confuse experience with certainty. That tension, between hard-won local knowledge and the limits of prediction, animates his analysis of Arctic planning today.
