KLIFF - Climate Impact Research in Lower Saxony
Collaborative Project
Contract period:
31.03.2009
- 28.02.2014
Budget:
18600000 Euro
Coordinating institution:
Forest Ecosystems Research Center
What specific impact will climate change at regional level and how to manage the resulting problems? As part of the research network KLIFF, sponsored by the Lower Saxony Ministry for Science and Culture, scientists from the disciplines of agricultural and forestry sciences, biology, geography, engineering, oceanography, meteorology, space planning, social sciences and economics are working together to find answers to these questions.
