Climate Adaptation – modelling water scenarios and sectoral impacts — 06 Nov 2012

This project addresses a number of strategic issues and knowledge gaps identified in the EU’s White Paper on Adaptation.

Observed permafrost temperatures in Norway — 06 Nov 2012

Observed permafrost temperatures from  10 m and  20 m depth in Norway (Dovrefjell).

PRUDENCE — 06 Nov 2012

Prediction of Regional scenarios and Uncertainties for Defining EuropeaN Climage change risk and Effects. PRUDENCE is part of a co-operative cluster of projects exploring future changes in extreme events in response to global warming. The other members of the cluster are MICE (Modelling the Impact of Climate Extremes) and STARDEX (Statistical and Regional Dynamic downscaling of Extremes for European regions).
