CLIMATE CHANGE TOOLS

Climate change effects viewer

 

Do you need a first overview of the effects of climate change? This viewer shows the climate change effects for the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenario for 2050 and 2080. You can hover over the different scenarios in the right lower corner. This viewer uses CMIP5 climate data from 5 bias corrected models.

Critical threshold explorer

 

What is the effect of climate change on a specific crop? This application helps you to answer this question by generating indicators for user defined temperature and precipitation thresholds. You can make crop specific graphs and maps, which allows you to explore the vulnerability of crops to climate change. For example, if you know above which temperature a crop is damaged, you can use the application to find the future number of days above this value during the growing season.
