SCENIC Storyline Scenarios of Extreme Weather, Climate, and Environmental Events

, seven Helmholtz Centres are
collaborating to gather deep insights into the complex relationships between the processes
that take place on our planet. We aim to develop solutions and strategies to help humankind
adapt to changing environmental conditions, to minimize global threats like climate change,
and to understand the potential impact of these risks – not only for the environment but also
for the economy and society.
We are inviting applications to three Postdoc and five PhD positions within the crossinstitutional project

SCENIC

Storyline Scenarios of Extreme Weather, Climate, and

Environmental Events along with their Impacts in a Warmer World
SCENIC carries the storyline approach from global to regional and local scales, and from
climate to impact models, with a focus on Europe. This Innovation Pool project is an important
contribution to the new research program “Changing Earth - Sustaining our Future”. Within
