KvarkenData

The two-year KvarkenData project of the University of Vaasa, financed by the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia, explores the research and business possibilities of environmental data from Kvarken area. Aurora Botnia, a ship of Wasaline, operating between Vaasa and Umeå acts as a sensor observing the state of the environment by collecting maritime and environmental data along its route. In addition, the utilization of other data sources (for example weather and satellite data) in monitoring the marine environment is also being investigated.
