MPM Online Tool is a web tool for assessing regional scale mineral in northern Finland with geospatial datasets in geographic information systems.

The primary aim of the MPM online too is to support strategic planning of companies conducting mineral exploration in northern Finland. Appropriate modelling with the MPM online tool may indicate for the most prospective areas making land claims for further advanced exploration. In addition, we encourage teaching staff in universities to use the MPM Online Tool for teaching of modelling.


A tool to calculate geochemical baselines in soil.

The geochemical baseline map service of the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) calculates regional soil baseline values using geochemical data stored in the map service database. In addition to GTK, soil geochemical data are provided by other national research institutes and some private companies.


A tool to calculate watersheds. Based on the elevation model in 2 meter resolution where available, otherwise 10 meter resolution is used.


An open service that enables users to calculate the amount of biomass in a given geographical area, as well as examining the opportunities to utilise the biomass and restrictions on its use.

Biomass Atlas is an open service that collects location data about biomass under a single user interface. Developed by the Natural Resources Institute Finland together with the Finnish Environment Institute, Tapio, the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Vaasa, and with funding from the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the service enables users to calculate the amount of biomass in a given geographical area, as well as examining the opportunities to utilise the biomass and restrictions on its use.


A tool to calculate the probability that there will be damage to the forest caused by heavy winds in the next five years on a given area.


Mapple Analyst is a map application that makes it easy to explore how you can reach important and interesting places for you by different travel modes.

With Mapple Analyst you can easily create an interactive map that shows the travel times to a location of your interest and the amount of people it reaches e.g. in 30 minutes. Mapple Analyst makes it easy to compare different travel modes to each other (public transport, private car, walking), and download the data of your analysis into your computer for further inspection. Mapple Analyst is an ideal tool e.g. for a citizen trying to find a good location for a new home that is close enough to his/her important places, or for a entrepreneur who tries to find a good location for a new store with enough potential customers living close by.
