Coastal and fluvial geography

Our research focuses on changing coastal and river environments, and how human interaction with these systems affects natural processes. Research spans from fieldwork-intensive sampling to investigation of marine spatial planning processes.

We arrange a joint course on maritime spatial planning (Curriculum link): https://opas.peppi.utu.fi/fi/opintojakso/MAAN7315/7100
