<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">New master thesis topic open in the Academy of Finland funded EcoRiver - Assessing and valuing ecosystem services for managing hydropower constructed rivers systems. In the project, we develop an integrated assessment
framework and examine the cost and benefits provided by hydropower constructed rivers. Project is done in close collaboration with the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), Oulu Business School and Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke).

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">We are seeking motivated master student for topic “Hydrodynamical flow modelling of Kemijoki river main channel – the influence of short-term regulation”. Work includes establishing of Hec-Ras 2D hydrodynamical model
for Kemijoki main channel (site Ossauskoski-Tervola), analysis of data from continuous data loggers and analyzing modelling results together with project partners. Purpose of the work is to evaluate the influence of short-term regulation on water level and
discharge conditions in Kemijoki main channel. The study will form bases for joint evaluation of short-term regulation in the EcoRiver project. Work includes establishing of Hec-Ras model, running scenarios, analysis of measured datasets and modelling results.
