CLIMATE ATLAS

for the Wadden Sea Region

Climate Atlas from HZG with WSF enhancements

The Wadden Sea Forum was dealing with climate change and climate adaptation as it concerns our society and the different sectors.
Answers on these questions were of high interest for the WSF stakeholders. Due to cooperation agreements, the climate office of the HZG (Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht) had adapted their existing climate atlas to the requirements of the WSF sectors. For the Wadden Sea Region, several climate scenarios were placed in this atlas and different parameters can be selected.

  • What water levels can be expected in the southern North Sea in 2050?
  • How will the vegetation period change over the next decades?
  • Which temperatures can we expect along the coast?

You are invited to experience the atlas with its scenarios under www.coastalatlas.org.
