Baltic Forestry, 13 (2): 179183. Abstract Anthropogenic stress has affected forest trees for decades and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. The Scots pine tree condition was evaluated and tree height was measured at age twelve in provenance field trial established on two sites under strong and weak pollution levels in Kola Peninsula, NW Russia. The seedlings of three Finnish origins (Muonio, Ylitornio and Suomussalmi) were used for establishment of the trial. Based on needle, bud and stem observations, the evaluation of the condition was performed. Surprisingly the condition was better and trees were slightly taller on the strongly than weakly polluted site with significant differences among some provenances from northern Finland. The trees had a significantly higher condition (p<0.05) in the northernmost provenance (Muonio) than in the more southern ones (Ylitornio and Suomussalmi) under weak pollution. On the strongly polluted site, the differences between provenances were insignificant.

  • Research Highlights
    [CLIENT] IsaaksdotterIsaacson1803 LEW160651 7 December 2018 Research Highlights GOALS Locate the birth records for three of the eleven children of Isaak Mickelsson and Magdalena Johansdotter (Carlsson) born 15 December 1796: Brita Isaaksdotter, Magdalena Isaaksdotter, and Mickel Isaaksson. (Their birth dates were listed in household records, which will significantly narrow searches for these records. However, locations for those births have yet to be determined. All available records should be used to identify locations for these events, and then applicable record collections searched.) Research the ancestry of Isaak Mickelsson born 2 August 1795 in Helsingby, in Hietaniemi Parish, Västerbotten County, Sweden. His parents are Mickel Johansson and Catharina Johansdotter who lived on Heicka farm. Research the ancestry of Magdalena Johansdotter born 12 December 1796 in Nuotioranta, Hietaniemi Parish, Västerbotten County, Sweden. Her parents were Johan Metsavainio (sic) and Caisa Nilsdotter. Research two recommendations from the January 12, 2017 Project, with the objective of determining who Maria is and where she belongs in the family: Determine who the father was of the young girl named Maria in the 1859 household of Erik Isaaksson and Anna Greta Isaaksdotter. Gather more information about the 1837 marriage of Johan Johansson and Brita Caisa, as listed in Johan’s 1845 household record. This may help explain the birth of the young girl named Maria who appeared later with Anna Gretta Isaaksdotter. If you get to this third objective, I have received additional information that may or may not be of benefit in the research of Maria. We have recently received some research notes written by my wife’s mother about 1970.

  • Preliminary Surficial Geological Interpretation and Transport Estimation in the Rumajärvi Boulder Field, in Eastern Ylitornio, Finland
    Geological Survey of Finland M149R2014 5.12.2014 Rovaniemi Preliminary surficial geological interpretation and transport estimation in the Rumajärvi boulder field, in eastern Ylitornio, Finland Pertti Sarala Preliminary interpretation of Quaternary geology and till geochemistry in eastern Rovaniemi GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF FINLAND DOCUMENTATION PAGE Date / Rec. no. 5th December 2014 Authors Type of report Pertti Sarala Commissioned by Geological Survey of Finland Title of report Preliminary surficial geological interpretation and transport estimation in the Rumajärvi boulder field, in eastern Ylitornio, Finland Abstract In this report, surficial (Quaternary) geology and geomorphology of the Rumajärvi-Rajapalot area in eastern Ylitornio – western Rovaniemi with an emphasis on the estimation of boulder transport distance are presented. The study is based on the digital elevation model, Lidar data, field observations, boulder observations, drill holes’ soil thickness data, surficial geological map and literature. Several geomorphological subareas can be distinguished in the study area including active ice formations like ribbed moraines and streamlined features (drumlinoids and fluted surface) and other formations i.e. cover mo- raines and large glaciofluvial deposits/subglacial erosion channels. In the Rumajärvi-Rajapalot area ribbed mo- raine morphology is dominant geomorphological feature. The hummocky type ridges are typically oriented per- pendicular to west - east or north-west – south-east oriented ice-flow direction. The ridges are also covered by the blanket of large, angular boulders. The thickness of glacial overburden seems to be relatively shallow (2-5 m) in the Rumajärvi area and from there to east. To the north from Rumajärvi exist large area of very thin soil cover or in many places the soil is absent.

  • Geochemical and U-Pb and Sm-Nd Isotopic Constraints on the Evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Ylitornio Nappe Complex, Northern Fennoscandia
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, Vol. 91, 2019, pp 75–100, https://doi.org/10.17741/bgsf/91.1.003 Geochemical and U-Pb and Sm-Nd isotopic constraints on the evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Ylitornio nappe complex, northern Fennoscandia Raimo Lahtinen1*, Hannu Huhma1, Laura S. Lauri2 and Mohammad Sayab1 1 Geological Survey of Finland, P.O. Box 96, FI-02151 Espoo, Finland 2 Geological Survey of Finland, P.O. Box 77, FI-96101 Rovaniemi,, Finland Abstract The Ylitornio area in northern Finland is a typical example of a poorly outcropping, multiply deformed, complex Precambrian terrain. U–Pb, Sm-Nd and geochemical data from metavolcanic, metasedimentary and plutonic rocks combined with structural data define the lithodemic units and tectonostratigraphy of the area. The Mellajoki, Martimo, Hosiojoki, Kierovaara and Uusivirka suites form the Yli- tornio nappe complex. Although main thrust stacking had occurred between 1.92– 1.89 Ga, later reverse faulting probably continued until 1.78 Ga. The Väystäjä bimodal volcanic rocks (2.09–2.05 Ga) from the Martimo suite are plume-related EMORB-OIB rocks formed during a continent breakup. The Kaskimaa greywacke of the Martimo suite is inferred to represent sedimentation in a deepening rift basin in the continental margin. The coeval Hosiojoki felsic rocks with A-type affinity and the Kierovaara suite granites (2.00–1.98 Ga) represent dry melting of a dominantly 2.1–2.05 Ga contaminated mafic underplate, and hydrous melting of both the mafic underplate and a refractory lower crust of Archean age, respectively. The older rocks of the Uusivirka suite are early-collisional (1.92–1.91 Ga) and derived from poorly mixed local sources, whereas younger psammite-pelite associations (Ristivuoma) are syn-collisional (1.91– 1.89 Ga) and derive from multiply recycled and thoroughly mixed sources.

  • Regional Socio-Economic Disparities in Finland
    Stefan Fina, Bastian Heider, Maija Mattila, Pauli Rautiainen, Mikko-Waltteri Sihvola, Kaisa Vatanen Unequal Finland Regional socio-economic disparities in Finland FRIEDRICH-EBERT-STIFTUNG – POLITICS FOR EUROPE Europe needs social democracy! Why do we need Europe? Can we demonstrate to European citizens the opportu- nities offered by social politics and a strong social democracy in Europe? This is the aim of the new Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung project “Politics for Europe”. It shows that European integration can be done in a democratic, economic and socially balanced way and with a reliable foreign policy. The following issues will be particularly important: – Democratic Europe – Social and ecological transformation – Economic and social policy in Europe – Foreign and security policy in Europe We focus on these issues in our events and publications. We provide impetus and offer advice to decision-makers from politics and trade unions. Our aim is to drive the debate on the future of Europe forward and to develop specific proposals to shape central policy areas. With this publication series we want to engage you in the debate on the “Politics for Europe”! About this publication On the outset and in international comparison, Finland has developed one of the wealthiest and most generous welfare states in the world and with low levels of income inequality and high social mobility. A deeper look reveals deepening re- gional disparities, leading to the observation that in fact there are four Finlands. Following Finland's post-war industrialisation, the rate of urbanisation and rural depopulation have been rapid, however the country's demographic change and stagnating unemployment rate have increased regional inequalities and put in- creasing pressure on municipalities.
