Geoportal on climate change and its impacts in Poland

The Geoportal presents the results of calculations and analyses conducted within the research project CHASE-PL, dealing with observations and projections of climate change and its impacts on selected sectors (water management, ecosystems and biodiversity, agriculture and food production) in Poland.

The portal on climate change and its impacts in Poland was developed in the framework of the Polish-Norwegian CHASE-PL project by the Department of Hydraulic Enginnering, Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS). The geoportal stores country-wide data concerning:

• observations of precipitation and air temperature for the time period 1951-2013
• projections of precipitation and air temperature changes for the near (2021-2050) and the far (2071-2100) future
• simulated impacts of climate change on hydrological conditions in the Vistula and Odra river basins.

The main functions of the geoportal include:

• download of meteorological data (5 km raster) for observations and projections
• interactive selection of maps based on monthly, seasonal or multi-annual data
• identification of values in the selected point on a map
