Håkan Nilsson

I work as a research engineer for Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES) at Röbäcksdalens field research station. My tasks includes installing and maintaining measuring instruments. In addition, I am responsible for collecting data on behalf of SITES Water and SITES Spectral. The activities at Röbäcksdalens field research station are characterized by the experimental fields. These fields are studied during growing season using fixed spectral sensors together with aerial multispectral imaging via drones (SITES Spectral). The Degernäs brook that criss-cross the experimental fields is continuously studied with respect to water chemistry and discharge (SITES Water).
