Geoid
The geoid is the shape that describes the Earth and the shape the oceans would take at rest. The geoid surface connects the oceans and continues through the continents. In reality, the mean sea level deviates from the geoid due to variations in the ocean's temperature, salinity, and air pressure as well as prevailing winds and ocean currents.

Only a fraction of Finland’s berry picking spots grow a significant harvest – fresh study reveals them to all
Finland’s forests are a veritable treasure trove for berry pickers. However, finding the spots with the best hauls is difficult. Our study creates berry maps by combining growth location data, geospatial data and laser scanning to find the best spots.
