15 Minutes of FAME is the FAME Flagship’s monthly open morning coffee webinar series in which the Flagship’s researchers and partners offer snapshots into their current scientific work and activities within the FAME network.
This webinar will be presented by Professor Gregor Hillers (University of Helsinki).
Professor Hillers’ DYNALake project explores a novel approach for quantifying methane ebullition from a boreal lake using passive seismic tomography of the lake ice cover together with interdisciplinary observation methods. The basis for this and many other non-invasive monitoring and imaging applications is the analysis of elastic waves that is used to estimate properties of the propagation medium. The DYNALake centerpiece is a dense array of 200 seismic geophones that we deployed in February 2025 on the ~30 cm thick ice sheet of Lake Pääjärvi some 100 km north of Helsinki.
The project will also popularise the subarctic wintertime fieldwork and the science by making a professional documentary for science communication, outreach, and education.
Grab your morning coffee and kickstart your day with us on the first Thursday of every month to hear more about how FAME shapes the future with mathematics, physics, and computing!
