“I’m super excited!” - Susa Niiranen, Centre researcher.
Susa Niiranen is joining a team of nearly 40 scientists on a major expedition to monitor one of the most remote marine ecosystems on the planet.
The region has so far remained largely insulated from rapid climate change effects.

Green funds only slightly differ from others, new study finds.
Researchers have analysed nearly 7,000 European funds to see how green portfolios differ from conventional ones.
They found that the differences are surprisingly small, for all but one sector.
