Aarne Hovi is a Staff Scientist in Geoinformatics at the Department of Built Environment, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland. Holding a Doctoral Degree in Agriculture and Forestry from the University of Helsinki (2015), his work intersects UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and ecological research.
- Education: Doctoral Degree, Agriculture and Forestry, University of Helsinki
Research Interests focus on optical remote sensing, boreal forest characterization, radiation transfer modeling, and multi-sensor integration (LiDAR, SAR, Sentinel-2). He develops spectral-structural databases and investigates forest floor reflectance, canopy clumping, and phenology-driven waveform analysis in airborne LIDAR systems.
Recent Research Trends include:
- 2011-2025: 51+ publications on boreal forest remote sensing
- 2024: Key datasets on spectral properties of European forests
- 2025: Advancements in α-diversity estimation and wolverine habitat modeling
Scientific Contributions:
- Principal Investigator for TransfeRS (2024-2028): Spaceborne LIDAR for forest biomass
- Principal Investigator for BIOFORALB (2024-2026): Forest diversity-albedo linkages
- 2015 Award for research on forest spectral properties
Peer Review & Collaboration: Active in journal reviews (Remote Sensing, Silva Fennica), international conferences, and open data initiatives through Fairdata and Mendeley. His work spans Finland, Czech Republic, and global boreal forest collaborations.
