The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is actively engaging in collaborative research to understand greenhouse gas dynamics and their impact on climate. Key initiatives include the CarbonTracker team and the climate modeling group, focused on projects like DEFROST, which examines climate change interactions with the cryosphere. Our expert team, including PhDs Leif Backman, Tuula Aalto, and Aki Koyama, is dedicated to advancing methodologies for estimating methane and CO2 fluxes, supported by multiple funded projects, including those from the Academy of Finland and the Nessling Foundation.
