RAGTIME - Regional Assessment of Global Change Impacts Through Integrated Modelling in the European River Basin

On the basis of an integrated modelling approach, this project investigates possible regional impacts of global change on natural and socio-economic systems and on social trends within the basin of the river Elbe. Both a modelling concept and a modelling framework have been developed which take into account the mutual dependencies between the various systems and processes. The goal is to derive measures that can prevent or reduce negative effects and promote a sustainable development of the region.
