Overview

Jouko Silvola is affiliated with the University of Eastern Finland in Finland. Their research spans multiple areas with a focus on environmental science and engineering, contributing notably to subjects connected to atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, as well as hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis.

The main fields of study represented in their works include:

  • Environmental Science
  • Engineering

Within these fields, they have published in the following subfields:

  • Global and Planetary Change
  • Mechanics of Materials
  • Environmental Chemistry

Their research covers key topics such as:

  • Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics

Jouko Silvola has authored papers published primarily through the venue Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research). Two recent papers, both published in 2022, focus on chamber flux data of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from Finland, originally used in earlier studies by Hannu Nykänen. The full titles are:

  • Chamber flux data (CH4, CO2) from Finland (1991 -1993) originally used in Nykänen et al. GBC, 12(1), 53 - 69, 1988, (2022) Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Chamber flux data (CH4, CO2) from Finland (1991 -1993) originally used in Nykänen et al. GBC, 12(1), 53 - 69, 1988, (2022) Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Collaborations are notable in their work, with frequent co-authors including:

  • Hannu Nykänen
  • Alm Jukka
  • Martikainen Pertti
