Maiju Ylönen is a PhD researcher at the University of Oulu, Finland. She investigates innovative methods, such as UAVs and fiber-optic sensing, for catchment-scale snow monitoring in boreal landscapes. These approaches provide improved spatial and temporal coverage, even in challenging boreal and sub-arctic conditions, helping to better understand snow dynamics now and in the future.
