Opponent's statement on the PhD dissertation and the defense of Satu Läheenoja

Abstract

Satu Lähteenoja’s PhD thesis consists of five published articles and an extensive introduction. The articles make strong, or even major, contributions to research and Satu Lähteenoja’s contribution to the articles is clearly demonstrated. The introduction combines the articles into a whole and through the introduction the contribution is clearly bigger than the sum of the five articles.

The defense event speech, Lectio Praecursoria, by Satu Lähteenoja, is published in the same Alue ja Ympäristö issue.
