Mitigating climate change and safeguarding biodiversity
At the University of Oulu, we study climate and environmental change, mitigation of change and sustainable use of natural resources. We seek research-based solutions for green transition, including opportunities for circular economy and climate-friendly energy production methods.
Our research includes:
- digital modelling and management of water systems
- biodiversity in multi-species communities
- the use of industrial side streams
- hydrogen transmission and climate-friendly steel production
- new possibilities in the energy economy
- catalysis-based environmental technologies
- sustainable mining and mineral exploitation
- solar activity and activity changes and the Sun's impact on the atmosphere and climate
