Joy of Finnish summer are all kind of berries in Finnish forests and mires. And they are free to be picked up. Here we have #blueberry, #bilberry, #lingonberry and #crowberry, which grow in the forests. Not included in photos are #cloudberry and #cranberry, which grow on mires.

We enjoyed last drinks and pizza with Erone after he did his PhD studies in remote sensing at Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki University of Helsinki Earth Change Observation Laboratory. Erone Santos will continue research at NASA JPL. Thanks Erone (4th on the right) and all the best!

Our paper in @ NatureComms shows how forest loss in East Africa has increased temperature & cloud base height causing decreased ability of the land cover to harvest water from clouds as fog deposit. Contribution from #TaitaResearchStation University of Helsinki helsinki.fi/en/faculty-sci…

Hukkajoen avohakkuualueelle olisi päässyt toistakin reittiä, jolloin raakkujokea ei olisi tarvinnut ylittää. Alue oli jo harvennettu v 2012 joen rantaan asti, mikä näkyy satelliittikuvassa. Nyt joen eteläpuoli on aukko. Ylityspaikka merkitty keltaisella. hs.fi/politiikka/art…

Seminar: Satellite Positioning in Our Uncertain World, today at Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia : acadsci.fi/ajankohtaista/… The threats and vulnerabilities of GNSS positioning and ways to detect and mitigate them will be discussed. Petri Pellikka 🇫🇮 Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki

Seminar on satellite positioning in our world organised by Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia. Great experts from University of Helsinki, FGI, NLS and Wuhan University.

Symposium for Earth Observation for Africa is starting at ESRIN of European Space Agency. Happy to be present to show research from #TaitaResearchStation and seek for collaborations on the behalf of Earth Change Observation Laboratory, Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki, Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki and University of Helsinki. For the best of the World.

Happy to be present when Hanna Lahtinen Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki received ProGIS MSc thesis reward about her thesis about interference of satellite navigation signal in Finnish landscapes. Congratulations! Thesis is available at hdl.handle.net/10138/575156

Hosting an Ethiopian delegation from ministry of agriculture & #Niras who are running #REILA funded by MFA Finland 🇫🇮 in Ethiopia. Glad to tell about our research within #TaitaResearchStation University of Helsinki in Kenya and ESSA Project funded by EU International Partnerships 🇪🇺.

We mapped honey bee forage areas by Google Earth and machine learning in southern Ethiopia as part of ESSA Project project funded by EU International Partnerships 🇪🇺. Good cooperation between University of Helsinki Addis Ababa University and Philipps-Universität. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Mwadime showing our eddy covariance flux towers for Werner Leo Kutsch from ICOS RI and Petteri Taalas of Ilmatieteen laitos, Finland managed by #TaitaResearchStation University of Helsinki in Kenya. This one is measuring greenhouse gas fluxes in bushlands under grazing, while other one is in cropland.

Keynote talk by DG Ilmatieteen laitos Petteri Taalas in our ESSA Project workshop in University of Nairobi about climate change and how Finland wants to tackle that in. Africa and especially in Kenya. Thank you Petteri for your visit to Taita and Kenya.

As a PI, we were happy to be hosted by University of Nairobi for our ESSA Project meeting funded by EU International Partnerships 🇪🇺 of the European Commission. ESSA led by Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki & #TaitaResearchStation of University of Helsinki has been central in making great partnership between our leading universities.

WHISPERS IEEE workshop about hyperspectral imaging & remote sensing is in Helsinki. Cool to have scientists from Wuhan University, China. Zhaozhi Luo on the right does his dissertation at Earth Change Observation Laboratory University of Helsinki with Specim sensors. WHISPERS: ieee-whispers.com

I had a pleasure to give a talk about megatrends in Africa and climatic impacts of land use change in Finland and Africa to great students of #LinnankoskenLukio of Porvoon kaupunki - Borgå stad Finland. They have visited 5 x at #TaitaResearchStation University of Helsinki in Keny studying climate change.
