Projects

AI (forecasting, image recgonition, invasive species), urban water & education (economics, meteorology, product development). Several national programmes completed.

Climate change and image recgontion.
A government Key Project ÄlyVesi on Artificial intelligence and IoT in water sector (2018-2020). We use machine learning to detect species in land and water in small and large scale, biomass, algae, water level and ice movement. Deep learning is used for water forecasting. Different IoT equipment and 5G-networks are  also used.

National hydrological research infrastructure (HYDRO-RI-Platform, 2022-2024, SYKE partner). Finnish Environment Institute > Hydrological research infrastructure (HYDRO-RI-Platform) (syke.fi). Completes gaps in national and the European Research Infrastructure roadmap by providing a dense, highly instrumented autonomous super-sites for freshwater monitoring (2022-2024, Acedemy of Finland)

Hydro-RDI-Network – Research, Development & Innovation in Hydrology (hydrordi.com) serve as the first Finnish competence center of the water sector by bringing together research organisations and companies to boost RDI activities related to hydrology. 

MONITOR2020 is a national environment monitoring strategy & development program.  The steering group earlier leaded by a Chief Secretary of Ministry.

MMEA-programme (2010-2015, over 30 M€, SYKE partner, WP-leader). New open data interfaces to national monitoring data like OData, also EO-data and forecasting data interfaces. Crows & maching learning applications.Finnish Environment Institute > Measurement, Monitoring and Environmental Assessment (MMEA) Research Programme: WP1.1 Data Management; Tools WP3 Remote sensing; WP5 Business Applications (syke.fi)

A government Key Project for Education (2017-2018) - a national curriculum how to link reasearch and education.
