Climate change scenarios are widely used in environmental research, but their terminology, data sources, and formats can be challenging to navigate. This course provides an introduction to climate projections and a practical workflow for accessing and analysing climate data.

– Climate change scenarios: key concepts, RCPs, SSPs, and climate projections.
– From models to data: climate models, downscaling, CORDEX, and Copernicus.
– Working with NetCDF files: data structure, metadata, and visualization with Panoply.
– Climate data analysis in R: data import, extraction, processing, and visualization.
– Practical application: hands-on analysis of climate projection data
