Themes

The Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium will achieve its Vision and Mission by focusing on four themes:

Regional Climate Impacts: global climate variability and change, climate change scenarios and downscaling

Hydrologic Impacts: hydrological modelling and climate model diagnosis

Ocean Influences: storm surge, sea level rise, Pacific storms and seasonal climate prediction.

Climate Analysis: historical data, analysis and extreme weather events.

The themes are the foundation for bridging the gap to each socio-economic sector and supporting their needs for assessment and adaptation.

The PCIC staff work within the 'gap' between science and applications, focusing on targeted research and understanding the needs of each socio-economic sector.

PCIC staff and projects are organized around the four PCIC themes.
