Climate change stresses the social-ecological system of the European Alps and has unforeseeable impacts on the intensity and frequency of natural hazards. Aim of the EU project Adaptation to Climate Change in the Alpine Space (AdaptAlp) was to provide products, reports and recommendations for natural hazard and disaster management in the Alpine Space.
The main objectives were:
- Enhancing transnational exchange and cooperation regarding risk prevention and risk management methods; provision of input to the European Floods directive and the European INSPIRE directive.
- Reducing uncertainities by provision of precise data, design events and innovative methods considering climate change for improved modeling and prediction of natural hazards and its impacts in the alpine space.
- Improving efficiency of transnational risk management by elaboration of a common transnational understanding of the assessment of risks and harmonization of different approaches of geological hazard mapping and other natural hazards.
- Raising awareness and supporting adaptation actions on local, regional, national and transnational level by implementation of transnationally concerted and regionally coordinated campaigns on risk management and communication.
- Elaboration of a sound decision basis for adaptation measures, improvement of knowledge to facilitate decision-making and implementation of pilot activities taking climate change into account.
- Optimized risk management tool
With the end of the project’s runtime in 2011, the water regime dataset covering the whole Alpine space has been transferred to GRDC.

You can access the data by downloading the station catalogue below, copy the GRDC station name(s) or number(s) and paste them into the field “Station Name or Number” in the filter menu of the data portal. A step by step guide is provided in our the Navigation guide for GRDC data portal (available in English and Spanish). The summary statistics provide an additional overview about the dataset.
