The study contributes to an improved understanding of asset poverty’s correlates by examining the influe...

Soil erosion is one of the biggest global environmental problems. Finding new innovative systems to measure soil erosion more accurately is a priority. An effort is being carried out in this study to use automated electronics in order to systematically and accurately measure soil erosion. In addition, the frequent measurements taken will help collect a large amount of data on soil erosion. The ...

We introduce a new measurement station that we established in 2005 in an observation tower at Puijo in Kuopio. At Puijo we measure several meteorological parameters, aerosol and cloud droplet size distribution, aerosol optical properties and trace gas concentrations. We summarize the research activities at the station during its three-year history and present overall results. We compare the res...
