Finland’s forest database expands to cover 8.5 billion trees – one of the largest in the world
The database, which has grown to cover almost all of Finland, is a demonstration that at-scale production of single-tree information is possible.

Scientists found that dead tree branches move – and in a completely different way from living ones
Dead tree branches are by no means stationary, but move clearly during the day. This is evident from a joint study by the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute FGI of the National Land Survey of Finland and the University of Heidelberg.
Press releaseResearch - Read more about Differences in trees' stress tolerance
Five years of monitoring revealed individual differences in trees' stress tolerance
Continuous hourly LiDAR forest observations provide a unique opportunity to identify early warning signs of tree decline.

Increased autumn flooding and thaws in mid-winter – monitoring changes in Finland’s rivers facilitates preparations for the future
Researchers from the University of Turku and the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute FGI of the National Land Survey of Filand just returned from Oulankajoki with field measurements that give insight into the state of rivers.
Press releaseResearch - Read more about Can robotics help reduce damage caused by elks?
Damage caused by elk leads to annual losses of 55 million to forest owners – can robotics help reduce the damage?
Our scientists investigate whether drones could be used to spray elk repellent on the seedlings they identify with the help of artificial intelligence.

Can Low-Earth-Orbit satellites improve positioning resilience against GNSS jamming? Finland participates in Celeste mission.
Researchers from the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) are contributing to the Celeste project by evaluating the performance of the Celeste IOD signals in the Arctic region.
ResearchPress release - Read more about The first quantum gravity meter will arrive to Finland in the late summer
Finland will receive a rare state-of-the-art device based on quantum technology that can operate just as effectively on an Italian volcano as on a Greenlandic glacier
In late summer, the National Land Survey of Finland will receive Finland's first quantum gravity meter, a gravity measuring device based on quantum technology. The procurement will be made as part of an EU research project.
ResearchPress release - Read more about Research data helps predict floods in Northern Finland
Drone boats and laser backpacks help researchers and decision-makers anticipate floods in Northern Finland
Researchers from the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute FGI, as part of the Academy of Finland-funded Digital Waters flagship funded, produce accurate measurement and modelling data on Finland's rivers to prepare for floods and their impacts on time.

Enormous market potential for spatial data – Finland and Europe are showing the way but data from various sources must be made to work together
According to a recently published scientific article by researchers of the FGI, different spatial data are not compatible, which prevents Finland and Europe from making efficient use of spatial data. However, there is a need for this, as it is estimated that the monetary value of the spatial data market will soon double to almost EUR 1.2 trillion globally.
