Interested in #ecohydrology and stable water isotope methods? Looking for a doctoral researcher to study root water uptake in boreal forest. As part of #BFF_Water project by Zuosinan (Zoey) Chen, co-supervised by me and Hannu Marttila. Full details and apply here: academicpositions.com/ad/university-…

A nice INTERACT short film, co-produced with BBC Studios about feedback processes in the arctic. Some familiar scenery on the film! youtube.com/watch?v=xCqofg…

Aki Rinne ja Esko Viitanen löysivät aseman läheisyydestä kesällä pari harvinaista vesiperhosta: eliömaakunnalle uutena pyörökalmiosirvikäs (Potamophylax rotundipennis) ja vain kerran 1977 eliömaakunnasta aiemmin havaittu rimpiputkisirvikäs (Limnephilus diphyes). Kuvat: Aki Rinne

It was a nice trip to FMI Snow with Pertti and Charlotte! Our staff learned new methods, now in use at Oulanka Research Station snow surveys.

A new article done on our reindeer exclusion sites by Kantola et al. "Contrasting impacts of short- and long-term large herbivore exclusion on understory net CO2 exchange in a boreal forest". Background story in Finnish below, original article here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec…

Lumitutkimuksellamme selvitetään, miten lumipeite ja vesivarat muuttuvat ilmastonmuutoksen myötä yhä vaihtelevammissa olosuhteissa. Puukkosuon tutkimusalueella mittaustila kätkee sisäänsä huippututkimuslaitteita. #UniOulu #lumitutkimus #ilmastonmuutos oulu.fi/fi/uutiset/lum…

Arctic climate change monitoring hampered by lack of data from Russia – Oulanka is one of the easternmost measuring sites oulu.fi/en/news/arctic…

Apulaisprofessorimme Pertti Ala-aho kertoo, että tutkimustieto lumesta, sen sulamisesta ja vaikutuksista vedenkiertoon on tärkeää, koska ilmastonmuutos muuttaa pohjoisen lumiolosuhteita nopeasti. #UniOulu #NorthernEnvironment #lumitutkimus Pertti Ala-aho yle.fi/a/74-20071343

"Multi-decadal improvements in the ecological quality of European rivers are not consistently reflected in biodiversity metrics" A comprehensive stream invertebrate study with involvement also from Oulanka Research Station, published in NatureEcoEvo nature.com/articles/s4155…

It was great to have you here Efrén, as always!

Oulangan tutkimusasemamme merkitys kasvaa, kun yhteistyö Venäjän arktisten tutkimuskeskusten kanssa loppui. "Me edustamme samaa kasvillisuusvyöhykettä kuin Venäjän asemat", tutkimusaseman johtaja Riku Paavola toteaa. #UniOulu Oulanka Research Station yle.fi/a/74-20077454

Sunny #CRYO_RI project meeting at Oulanka Research Station this week with University of Oulu, FMI Snow, Suomen ympäristökeskus and GTK. Here showcasing new snow measurement infra at peatland search site.

Field course summer was started with aquatic animals. And it was a good start, weather was nice and no mosquitoes yet. Station staff observed good moods with both students and teachers 🌞 Photos by Aino Erkinaro

A nice video of Zoey´s project. The "isotope hut" is off from the fen and staying at the pine site for now, for tree related measurements.

Our FinlandOFC continues today talking about experimental design. Glorious visit to some of the amazing long-term monitoring experiments located around Oulanka Research Station. Lincoln School of Natural Sciences

Kiitos to you, it was nice to have you here at Oulanka! Hope to see you again next year 🙂

It can very well be warm at Oulanka´s summer, around 25 °C for this week. Here doctoral researcher Eeva Järvi-Laturi and volunteer Lianne Janssen take cover, while doing EcoClimate plant surveys.

#Unioulu Terrestrial Animal Field Course 2024 is ongoing at Oulanka Research Station! Teaching #insect and other #invertebrate sampling and identification here this week. 🦟🐞🪰🐝🐜🪲🦋🦗🕷️🪱 #maaelukka #fieldcourse #OulankaResearchStation #OulanganTutkimusasema
