The work of the Hydropower-Hydrology group of CES is carried out by a network of scientists mainly from the national institutes. Thus a wide range of aspects of hydropower and natural conditions are covered, from the glaciated basins

1 Introduction
Flood frequency analysis is an important factor in flood risk assessment studies and for the
design of various hydraulic structures. Often, flood quantiles estimates are required at locations
where streamflow series are very short or where no data are available, making a direct flood
frequency analysis impossible. Regional flood frequency

How to build citizen science research projects? Details of setting up a Zooniverse project will be discussed, as will the design of the Citizen-Archivist dashboard at the U.S. National Archives and other citizen-powered projects.

from wind energy in the Nordic countries and how they might change due to global warming during the next decades. This relates both to the production potential and especially design conditions for wind farms and their sensitivity to climate change. The principal aims of the wind energy group is to analyse extreme wind in the Nordic countries in the form of an extreme wind atlas (50-year wind

dissemination of macroseismic questionnaires and the authors, i.e. people who wrote down earthquake
observations. Eight generations of Finnish macroseismic questionnaires since 1882 are discerned. The
ownerships belonged to one geologist, the Geological Commission, the Geographical Society

The hydrological simulations were performed with the Wa-
tershed Simulation and Forecasting System (WSFS) developed
and operated in the Finnish Environment Institute (Vehviläinen
et al., 2005). The WSFS is used in Finland for operational hydrolog-
ical forecasting and flood warnings (www.environment.fi/water-
forecast/), regulation planning and research purposes

run, and the blended initial field for the subsequent run. During the
first forecast hour, model simulations tend towards the values at the end of the previous run, but
especially in the interior of the island, some significant differences remain.

For 2-m air temperature and 10-m wind speed, this is illustrated in Figure 5, based on average
diurnal cycles, calculated separately for grid points
