It is a pleasure to welcome a new NordBorN member to the team: Elias Koivisto.
Elias started his PhD journey at UEF in Joensuu in the beginning of August. He holds a BSc in Biology-Earth sciences and a MSc in Geomatics from Stockholm University. His main research focus is studying the greening and shrubification of the Arctic region utilizing multispectral, UAV-RGB and LiDAR remote sensing data as well as field data with machine learning. A part of his research is also connecting these changes to reindeer herding patterns in Northern Fennoscandia and Yamal peninsula.
