"Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita – puuta kaadetaan nyt lähes ennätystahtia". yle.fi/a/74-20172571 Jutussa mainitaan hakkuiden talouden ja ilmastotoimien välinen ongelma, mutta ei korkeiden hakkuumäärien haittaa luonnon monimuotoisuudelle. Jälkimmäinen unohtuu liian usein.

Ukrainalle ilmapuolustusjärjestelmiä nyt. Venäjälle veret seisauttavia pakotteita nyt.

”Your application was ranked 1st of all the 43 Academy Project Funding 2025 applications reviewed in this panel. Only applications with the final rating of 5 or 6 are ranked." Let me just say that after 25 negative (+1 positive) decisions from the Research Council of 🇫🇮, this feels damn good 🥳💰

Oslossa pitkän työviikon päätteeksi. Kuuntelen terassilta Ukrainan kansallislaulua. Terassi on sama, jolta myös rauhanNobelin voittajat vilkuttavat kansalle. ”This war hasn’t stopped for a single day” kaikuu aukiolla. Ollapa jossain Nobelistiehdokas, joka tämän ratkaisisi. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Olen ikäni retkeillyt Keskuspuistossa. Silti aina on ollut sama: vähänkin vieraammalla paikalla meinaa eksyä, eivätkä opasteet ole auttaneet yhtään. Nyt juoksin pitkästä aikaa lenkin koko Keskuspuiston halki. Ja voi että on upeat ”uudet” opasteet! Helppoa menoa! 🤩 Kiitos @hel.fi ❤️🙏 (Kuva STT)

“Technology might well be the thing that pushes us over the edge. But it could also, if we play our cards right, allow us to exit our era of polycrisis. But that won’t happen on its own. The path towards better technology – tech for the 99% – can only be achieved through a politics of the 99%.“

Starting to recover from the most memorable Friday: a full day seminar and an evening party to celebrate the first 15 years of our lab @digigeolab.bsky.social 😍🤩❤️💃🏽🕺🏿 It was a blast to have some 40 members and alumni to reunite, discuss & celebrate together, many over long distances 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇩🇪🇦🇹🇪🇪🇫🇮 Yay!😍🥳🪩

Onnea 15 vuotias Digital Geography Lab @digigeolab.bsky.social! 🥳 @helsinki.fi @tuulitoivonen.bsky.social

@digigeolab.bsky.social panel discussion has started with @tuulitoivonen.bsky.social @vuoggis.bsky.social, @thiip.bsky.social, Johanna Eklund, Liisa Kajala and Maria Salonen. Interesting points on #VisitorMonitoring, data availability, reliability and #resilience of #BigData sources.

Anna Hausmann asking important questions at @digigeolab.bsky.social 15-Year Anniversary Seminar about how #technology is shaping our experiences of #nature. Nature is more accessible to us than ever before, but our experiences of it are increasingly mediated by smart devices.

PhD researcher @matabatchi.bsky.social presents his work on the role of #nature in #tourism focusing on the #Canarias, and how to examine that with traditional and #BigData from #SocialMedia and novel methods such as #ComputerVision and #AI. 33% of tourist content is posted from natural areas.

Next up @tadusko.bsky.social presents how #BigData and novel methods can be used to extract relevant information on #NatureRecreation and nature-based #tourism.

Our post-doc researcher Aina Brias Guinart talks about how nature-based tourism and outdoor recreation are changing, and how there is a need for more knowledge. She focuses on protected areas in #CanaryIslands #Canarias and #Finland. The number of visitors, their ages, and activities are changing.

The @digigeolab.bsky.social 15-Year Anniversary Seminar continues with the fourth session focusing on #Nature #Recreation introduced by @tuulitoivonen.bsky.social!

And the @digigeolab.bsky.social seminar continues! @ollejarv.bsky.social presents his #Borderspace project focusing on #CrossBorder regions and #transnational people, focusing on how transnational lives take place and how crossborder regions emerge from mobility and interactions.

Next up is @miladmzdh.bsky.social from @digigeolab.bsky.social presenting the #MobiTwin project and how regional #mobility studies have to move beyond migration when studying regional attractiveness, and also consider #CrossBorder #commuting, #StudentMobility, #Multilocality and #DigitalNomadism.

Now @ollejarv.bsky.social is presenting his and Riku Reunamäki's work on #RemoteWork and #MultiLocality Essentially remote work is poorly defined in literature, and could be defined more clearly as work from home, work from somewhere and work from anywhere.

Our 15-Year Anniversary Seminar goes on a lunch break. We're back in one hour.

@ilppo.bsky.social, senior advisor from the City of Helsinki, is presents future research needs of Helsinki and cities in general at @digigeolab.bsky.social seminar. There is a lot that needs to be studied and understood better in cities such as #Segregation #UrbanGrowth #Transit #PolicyImpact

@agepoom.bsky.social is presenting her lab's work on using mobile phone data to examine urban areas from several perspectives at the @digigeolab.bsky.social 15-Year Anniversary Seminar! #MobilePhoneData #BigData

@htenkanen.bsky.social our @digigeolab.bsky.social alumni, currently at @aalto.fi is presenting his research on #LowCarbon #Mobility. Take-aways: #decarbonisation and changing #human behavior is extra challenging. Still, most everyday car trips are 5 km or shorter, and change is possible.

Silviya Korpilo and Robert Klein @r-klein.bsky.social from @digigeolab.bsky.social present their research on how exposure to #GreenSpace during everyday travel affects wellbeing using #VirtualReality and #RemoteSensing imagery.

@eliaswillberg.bsky.social presenting the work done on #accessibility in the @digigeolab.bsky.social . Accessibility has several dimensions, and measuring it is not simple. One has to consider multimodality, multitemporality, sensitivity to individual preferences, and impact on the environment.

Our 15-Year Anniversary seminar has started! Tune in to hear about our #research on #accessibility #mobility #segregation and #nature. The stream: video.helsinki.fi/unitube/live... Program: blogs.helsinki.fi/digital-geog...

"Maailma ei pelasteta Suomen hakkuiden lopettamisella". Että sellainen aloitus sitten. 😳🤯 👉 Kukaan ei ole vaatinut hakkuiden lopettamista. 👉 Kukaan ei ole vaatinut Suomea yksin pelastamaan maailmaa, vaan ihan vaan hoitamaan oman osansa. Noudattamaan omaa lakiaan. www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...
