Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3182-3200, September 2026.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.

GIA‐Induced Mantle Circulation and Surface Horizontal Motions in North America: Effects of 3D Laterally Varying Elastic Thickness and Viscosity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The horizontal surface motions of the Earth's crust induced by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) are highly sensitive to lateral variations in Earth properties. We construct 3D GIA models by incorporating both varying elastic lithospheric thickness and lateral viscosity variations in the asthenosphere in a global, compressible, self ...

THE STRUCTURE OF LOW-VELOCITY ZONES IN THE MANTLE OF THE NORTHERN EUROPE

open access: yesTransactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2015
The areas of low-velocity middle mantle shift into the transition zone are distinguished according to 3-d P-velocity model of the Fennoscandian shield mantle and its surroundings using Taylor approximation method.

Porous and Permeable Crystalline Basement: Evidence for Large‐Scale Hydraulic Connectivity at Kivetty, Finland

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Porosity and permeability in crystalline shield basement are commonly assumed to be low, yet some fault zones sustain fluid circulation over kilometer scales. Here we quantify multiscale fault‐zone connectivity at Kivetty, central Finland, by integrating legacy deep‐borehole data, including packer tests, downhole logs, and a long‐term multi ...

NEW CHRONOSTRATIC SCHEME OF SOUTH-EASTERN FENNOSCANDIA AND ITS USE IN THE PREPARATION OF SMALL-SCALE GEOLOGICAL MAPS OF THE PRECAMBRIAN REGIONS

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2017
A new chronostratic scheme of South-East (SE) Fennoscandia has been developed, based on the International Stratigraphie Scale, taking into account some elements of the Common Stratigraphic Scale of Russia and the regional stratigraphic scheme of the ...

New evidence of the Vuoksi River origin by geodynamic cataclysm [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2018
The territory of investigations is located in the SE periphery of the Fennoscandian Shield. It served as an arena of periodic significant restructuring of the hydrographic network associated with the filling and discharge of large late-glacial and ...

Linking Tectonics and Cratonic Vertical Motions: Deep‐Time Thermochronology Reveals >1,000 Myr of Low‐Temperature Conditions in Southeastern Finland

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Fennoscandian Shield potentially hosts the longest continuous habitable conditions for Earth's deep biosphere. Billion‐year equilibrium freeboard conditions of cratons and the longevity of deep biosphere microbial communities are directly related through the thermal histories of rocks that host these communities.

Crustal properties of the northern Scandinavian mountains and Fennoscandian shield from analysis of teleseismic receiver functions

open access: yes, 2018
The presence of high mountains along passive margins is not unusual, as shown by their presence in several regions (Scandinavia, Greenland, East US, SW Africa, Brazil, West India and SE Australia).

Integrated Multi‐Physics Characterisation of the Northern Kiruna Mining District With Machine‐Learning‐Assisted Interpretation

open access: yesGeophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 7, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrated earth modelling aims to combine all available geoscientific information to derive one common earth model. However, combining multiple parameters in a meaningful way remains challenging. In this study, we aim to improve mineral exploration workflows through the integration of new magnetotelluric data with other geophysical and ...
