Climate change adaptation

We participate in different types of collaboration, both nationally and internationally, where we aim to improve society's ability to adapt to a changing climate. We also conduct our own research

Maps and GIS

Geographic Information System is an important part of our work. We carry out GIS-analyses, 3D-modeling, systems engineering and more. We display data on landslides, erosion, stability, vulnerability and risk in present and future climate conditions in different map viewing services
