Rheinblick2027

The project provides a comprehensive literature review of recent climate change research. In the first step, we will generate streamflow scenarios using the KNMI’23 scenarios and the three core hydrological models:

The Rhine cisis and the war of verses

29 11 2024

The Rhine crisis is a little-known episode in the opposition between France and Germany in the 1840s, because unlike the 1870 war, only regiments of poets clashed. While the poems written by Lamartine and Musset are largely forgotten on the French side, the German poems and songs have survived. They mark an important stage in the rise of nationalism, and shed new light on the continuing misunderstandings between France and Germany.

Rhine catchment & climate change - Final report ICPR no. 297 published!

31 07 2024

The ICPR has now published an important study on the discharge behaviour of the Rhine. The scenarios are based on the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The new ICPR discharge scenarios combine current knowledge and data from the neighbouring countries on the consequences of climate change on the hydrology of the Rhine.
