RESONATE: Remote Sensing-based Tools and Methods for Climate Resilient Forests Management
Theme: Sustainability, Forestry, Green Transition, Information Communication Technologies
Kindly funded by: Interreg Aurora
Abstract: The overall objective is to fortify climate resilience within the forestry sector of the Aurora regions, particularly in Finnish Lapland and Norrbotten, Sweden.Focused on the integration of advanced remote sensing and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, RESONATE seeks to enhance forest management practices by enabling precise monitoring of forest tree mortality. The overarching aim is to equip forest owners and forestry professionals with innovative tools and data-driven insights, facilitating informed decision-making and the implementation of sustainable management strategies to combat the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems.The project is organized into six work packages (WPs): WP 1: developing a conceptual and analytical framework with stakeholders, WP 2: employing remote sensing data for forestry, WP 3: creating a model for detecting tree mortality, WP 4: developing a cloud-based platform for climate-resilient forest management , and WP 5: engaging in cross-border dissemination to share results and involve stakeholders.Key outcomes include a tree mortality detection model, five public articles and document innovative methodologies, and a user-friendly platform for data dissemination. By fostering cross-border cooperation and leveraging cutting-edge technologies, RESONATE aspires to make a significant contribution to sustainable forest management, ensuring the effective monitoring of forest ecosystems in the face of evolving climate challenges.
ClimateForest: Climate Change Adaptation of Northern Forests: Risks and Prevention of Damaging Agents
Theme: Sustainability, Forestry, Green Transition, Information Communication Technologies
Kindly funded by: Interreg Aurora
Abstract: Climate change-related disturbances are significantly impacting forest growth in parts of Europe, with these issues expected to increase and spread northwards. The Aurora area is projected to experience a more dramatic temperature rise than lower latitudes, likely resulting in more severe climate change effects.
The primary goal of this project is to create new tools and risk management methods to prevent forest damage and support livelihoods in the Aurora region. The project will generate new knowledge for short- and long- term activities to enhance living conditions in the Aurora region and contribute to sustainable ecological, social, and economic development.
The main target groups for this project are forest owners, forestry professionals and experts, the forest industry, and local and national decision-makers. The project’s dissemination activities will engage these groups throughout its duration and ensure easy access to the necessary information for implementing the project’s results in everyday practices.
ENiSDA: Energibesparing i stora byggbestånd genom smart användning av data
Kindly funded by: Energimyndigheten
Theme: Sustainability, Smart Energy and Buildings, Green Transition, Information Communication Technologies
Aim: The project aims to develop innovations to analyse the energy demand of buildings under different circumstances by using historical data taking into account weather conditions, building information and the use of the building. This data is used to predict future energy needs in buildings, to balance energy needs between buildings, and to reduce total energy consumption.
The project will contribute to new knowledge, solutions, processes, working methods and methods that lead to efficient energy and resource use in buildings, interaction with neighboring sectors, functionality and well-being.
