The chemical status of Finnish lakes, rivers, and coastal waters has not yet improved, despite the concentrations of several chemicals falling below the limits set for them (EQS - Environmental Qualit......

The cyanobacterial situation over the past summer has been variable both in inland waters and sea areas. The number of cyanobacterial observations during June–August followed the weather conditions qu......

Microplastics are found in all water systems and in fish, bivalve molluscs and benthic fauna. Microplastics cause stress to the aquatic organisms and may expose them to harmful substances. These were ......

Cyanobacterial surface accumulations in open sea areas of the Gulf of Finland and the Bothnian Sea are still visible in satellite images, even though they are less intensive than earlier. In coastal a......

Varying amounts of cyanobacteria have been observed in both sea areas and lakes. The warm and calm weather of last week has enabled cyanobacteria to rise to the surface water layers. Abundant surface ......

During the first week of August, the occurrence of cyanobacteria in the sea areas has been typical of the time. Observations of cyanobacteria at national monitoring sites have been made especially on ......

In sea areas cyanobacteria occurrences have increased, which is typical for late July and early August. Windy weather has kept cyanobacteria mixed in the water bodies, therefore extensive surface bloo......

The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE monitors the state of the environment with the help of satellite technology and is a European forerunner in the efficient use of satellites. The TARKKA service, ......

Cyanobacteria have been observed in both sea areas and lakes. In the sea areas, cyanobacteria are mostly mixed in the water due to strong winds. In the coastal areas, cyanobacteria have been observed......

In both sea areas and lakes cyanobacteria has been observed more than during the last week. Although, when comparing this week to the previous summers’ same period of times, the cyanobacteria occurren......

© Ilkka Lastumäki The cyanobacteria situation has stayed moderate both in Finnish lakes and sea areas. Windy and cloudy weather have carried on to restrain the occurrences. The ......

Less cyanobacteria have been observed at national algae monitoring sites as compared to last week. Windy and cloudy weather has restrained the occurrence of cyanobacteria both in the Finnish sea areas......

This week, in both Finnish sea areas and in inland waters, greater amounts of cyanobacteria have been observed as compared to last week. The warm weather period in June has promoted the growth of cyan......

During the Midsummer week, cyanobacteria have started to occur in increasing numbers both in lakes and in the southern and southwestern parts of Finnish sea areas. The exceptionally warm weather in Ju......

The cyanobacterial situation has not notably changed from that of last week; the number of observed cyanobacterial occurrences have merely slightly increased in southern Finland in both Baltic Sea wat......

The Finnish Environment Institute SYKE has started this week its cyanobacterial bloom reporting for the summer 2020. In the Finnish sea areas some cyanobacteria have been observed locally. In lakes, o......

How can the most cost-effective measures be identified to help in assessing the status of a waterbody and the management practices needed to achieve good ecological status? The effect of differe......

Would changes in lake regulation rules and practices help you adapt to climate change impacts? Do you need to estimate changes in floods for planning purposes, for adaptation in dam safety or storm w......

Hydraulic models and flood maps enable the identification of possible flood prone areas and assist in land use planning, rescue and communication. Hydraulic modelling also provides tools to simulate ......
