Reports from INTERACT field sites
Springs moves into summer with alarming pace and we’re ready to welcome our first INTERACT TA researchers of the year (Martha Apple and Alba Gutiérrez-Girón) to the Cairngorms on Tuesday (2 July). The midges and mosquitoes which have appeared in appalling numbers in the last couple of weeks are particularly delighted to welcome fresh victims! […]
Read More…It was my first but not the last trip to Romania and to make sure of this I buried a little coin at the mountain camp in order to return there and find it. I was invited to the CRIOSFERA symposium to get to know the amazing history of Romanian polar research and to explore […]
Read More…It was summer last year when I saw a post on Facebook from Jillian Worssam – an amazing person from the Flagstaff Unified School District, Arizona – about the educational project “Scientists in the classroom”. I was very much excited and interested because education and outreach should be an integral component of any kind of […]
Read More…Kevo Subarctic Research Station has turned from one of the coolest places to the site of the hottest research in Europe. For a couple of days the weather station at Kevo (run by the Finnish Meteorological Institute) recorded the highest daily maximum temperatures among all the official meteorological stations in the whole Europe.

Read More…The spring season is certainly kicking off in the Cairngorms.

The industrial exploration of the Kola Peninsula began in the 1920’s and a lot of scientists from all over Russia, including Moscow University, came to help […]

Why is it so important and so popular today? and Who has it? All these questions may pop up in your head from time to time, yet have you ever given […]
Read More…Kolari ResearchUnit is the northernmost of the Finnish Forest Research Institute’s stations. We are relatively up high north, but very easily accessible. Train brings you less than one kilometer from us. From the airport you can reach us by one hour car drive. We are along the highway that takes you all the way to Rome […]
Read More……in a fact bit too warm greetings as January didn’t give us much in the way of cold midwinter weather here at Oulanka Reseach Station. After a relatively normal and cold December, this year started with rather mild temperatures with the average for January being -10,5 C. This is clearly higher than the long-term average (temperature […]
Read More…Kevo research station (69⁰ 45′ N, 27⁰ 01′ E) lies in Utsjoki at the northernmost tip of Finland north of the continuous pine forest line at the subarctic of mountain birch forest zone close to treeline at forest-tundra ecotone. The station is open year round for researchers, students and meetings. Kevo station gives access to […]
