Murat Ersalman, a student in the Master's Programme for Life Science Informatics, is doing an internship in the Environmental and Ecological Statistics Group at the University of Helsinki. The teams aim to develop mathematical and statistical models that can predict future population sizes of Baltic ringed seals. The work is done in collaboration with the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) and The Swedish Museum of Natural History.
