With rising temperatures and decreasing sea ice, the Arctic shipping season is steadily being extended, though conditions continue to be challenging. A research collaboration across the European Nordic countries develops a sea ice modelling tool that helps the shipping industry estimate risks. The tool also calculates the climate indicator for sea ice to predict future... View Article

According to Finnish research, vaccination against human papillomavirus HPV can provide herd immunity. The team uses High-performance computing provided by CSC, the NREN of Finland.

Fire simulations are highly complex. Using the supercomputer LUMI, operated by the Finnish research and education network CSC, Ramboll Finland managed to speed up the process significantly.

Thousands of citizens in Finland have responded to a call to report their observations of migrating birds. So far, approximately 3.7 million recordings were submitted.

In a joint project, University of Eastern Finland and Finland's R&E network CSC have cut down a key procedure in drug discovery from four months to 10 days.

“Simple pen and paper are not enough; numerical modelling is needed. This kind of modelling is also challenging because of many different time and other scales, and it requires supercomputer resources,” says Professor Maarit Korpi-Lagg.

A European project will enable the prediction of flooding from glaciers that threaten settled areas and infrastructure.

With assistance from a supercomputer, a Finnish research group has developed the first comprehensive Finnish language model.

In Finland, a new type of supercomputer merges conventional supercomputing with quantum computing. An application could be calculating in near-real-time how a tsunami will develop.

Thanks to an EU open science program, the climate researchers in each Nordic country do not need to create their models of the Nordic climate system from scratch.

High-performance computing and artificial intelligence are the cornerstones of a Finnish project to develop safe automated navigation for marine vessels.
