The "Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction" (CliSAP) Cluster of Excellence is a research association of the Universität Hamburg, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (Centre for Materials and Coastal Research, HZG), and the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ). The Cluster of Excellence started in 2007 as part of the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It is therefore funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).〔http://www.dfg.de/en/research_funding/programmes/list/projectdetails/index.jsp?id=38787541〕 CliSAP conducts fundamental research on climate and climate change in the fields of natural, economic and social sciences. == Research == The scientists of CliSAP are carrying out research in three different areas: *A: Climate Dynamics and Variability *B: Climate Manifestations and Impacts *C: Climate Change and Social Dynamics ''Area A'' focuses on the scientific aspects of climatology: Variability and predictability, interactions between climate system components as well as the global and regional sea level rises are investigated. Furthermore, the climate system’s relation to the carbon cycle and the influence of external disturbances on the predictability of the climate system is examined. The target of ''area B'' is to learn more about the consequences of global warming in sensible regions. One aim is to analyze the impact of global warming on permafrost soils or to find out whether intensive land utilization has any effect on the climate. In ''area C'' the scientists concern themselves about social reactions and developments connected with anthropogenic climate change. For example, it is examined in which ways various agents deal with climate-related information. Also treated is the question whether climate change is among others responsible for poverty and violent conflicts. CliSAP’s key research areas are supplemented with so called “Integrated Activities” like the Integrated Climate Data Center, Integrated Modeling Activities, Global Climate Reconstruction, Understanding Science in Interaction and Visualization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CliSAP」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
