of impact on environment and humans.
The observationally supported model improvements, the model sensitivities and past ranges of variability are combined with new field data. The aim is to evaluate improved predictability and its
consequences, as well as the
impact of projected changes on adaptation capabilities and
vulnerability of the
environment and human activities. Exploitation and dissemination of the
results
are key elements of DAMOCLES.

User-friendly
return of information to the community.
A website is available, giving the community updated information about the state of theArctic (e.g. real-time
information
of key atmospheric, ice and ocean variables) as well as information
about the
progress of the science of DAMOCLES. Education is provided through
workshops and
student scholarships. Results are published both in scientific journals
and in
the popular-scientific press. The scientists make generally themselves
available to the public to the best of their knowledge.
A website is available, giving the community updated information about the state of the
DAMOCLES provides a substantial step forward
