Climate Change and Preventive Risk and Coastal Protection Management on the German North Sea Coast (KRIM)

KRIM has the goal of providing orientation and action know-how for the future task of society entailing "risk management in coastal protection under conditions of uncertainty". The project has two major research questions: (1) What are the potential impacts of a climate change and adaptation measures? (2) What are possible consequences for risk management in coastal protection? The product of the KRIM research and development process will consist of 3 components:
(1) Discipline- and sector-oriented descriptions of the analysis of the natural science, economic science and social science factors and their interdependencies;
(2) Systematic analysis and descriptions of the risks expected at the different levels and their interrelationship with external factors of communication;
(3) An integrated computer-aided decision support system (DSS) that helps to structure the interdisciplinary research process, identify know-how gaps, compile the findings and make them available to society.
