Warning: This Server is under Construction!

The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Reserach (PIK) was founded in 1992. Its mission is to investigate the consequences of global climate change as a paradigm for the unfolding fundamental crisis between the ecosphere and humanity. Particular attention will be placed on regional aspects such as the consequences of changed rainfall pattern for Central European agriculture and forestry, or the threat to German coastal zones caused by sea level changes as well as increased frequency and amplitude of storms. An overview about the mission of PIK You will find here .
