Ecological Homeostasis as Arctic Infrastructure: Mosquito Regulation, Indigenous Health, and Climate-Driven Resource Expansion in the Circumpolar North

AbstractThis paper applies the Ecological Homeostasis and HATI (Homeostatic AdaptiveTension Index) framework to mosquito proliferation across circumpolar regions ofNorthern Canada, Siberia, and Greenland. These regions are undergoing rapidclimate-driven hydrological change while simultaneously becoming targets for mineralextraction, oil development, shipping lanes, and geopolitical positioning. Mosquitooutbreaks are not treated as pests requiring eradication, but as early biologicalindicators of phase-misalignment in Arctic water, predator, microbial, and humansystems. The paper argues that restoring hydrological timing, microbial buffering, andpredator synchrony provides a low-cost, high-sovereignty infrastructure for protectingIndigenous livelihoods, food security, and ecosystem stability during Arcticindustrialization. This approach represents ecological infrastructure that isIndigenous-compatible, climate-resilient, and sovereignty-preserving.
