CV and List of Publications.
(Updated December 2024) The research I have been involved with in 1991-92, 1997-2000, and 2002- has mainly been data-driven. It means that observations are vital in achieving the answers to research questions. Simulation tools have been important, when expanding the limits of experiments and instruments. Peer-reviewing is one way of contributing to science.
The rationales sprout from environmental mapping, forest inventory and monitoring. We always strive for something that is more accurate and cost-efficient or provides entirely new and relevant information.
Keywords linking to past and current research are:
- Forestry, Forest inventory, Forest management, Silviculture, Habitat and vegetation mapping, Forest growth and yield, Vegetation structure, Time-Series
- Optical, Airborne LiDAR, Close-range photogrammetry, Aerial photogrammetry, Radiometrically Quantitative Remote sensing, Geometry, 3D, waveform LiDAR
- Methods of least-squares, Image processing, Pattern recognition, Classification tools, Multivariate statistics, Spatial statistics, Monte-Carlo methods, Surveying, GIS
- Basic (Nokia), Fortran 77, C/C++, VB3-4-6, VBA, Python, R, SAS, Excel, Win16/32/64
My long-term Field and remote sensing experiment is in Hyytiälä (62ºN, 24ºE).
First activity dates to 1993 (establishing oldest permanent plots). First arial images I acquired in 1997 and the first forest LiDAR in Finland in 2004.
