Idea and intention of the "Global Change Atlas Obere Donau" are to visualize the sectoral and integrative conclusions of DANUBIA, to document them in common and to provide them as a basis for discussion for stakeholder and decision maker. The printed atlas includes three chapters. It is conceived as an open ring binder. This permits permanent improvement, addition and enlargement as a reaction to newly developed scenarios or to new, consolidated conclusions to the global and regional trends to be expected. Every contribution contains one card and one text page.

The publication of the basic work with the first ready maps took place in a first edition of 150 pieces to experts and interested people from science, administration and politics in June 2006. Additions and updates in all three chapters are served during the project time and are likely sent out bi-yearly.

Chapter 1

Depiction of the natural landscape and social patterns in the Upper Danube catchment. These facts are building the basic database for the models and simulations.

Chapter 2

Presentation of the sectoral models of DANUBIA, the therefore necessarily data as well as validations on the basis of measured target values. Selected data sets calculated with the respective model are represented as a card.

Chapter 3

The results of the simulations from different scenarios about possible developments of the Upper Danube catchment in the next decades will be presented here. In the course of a continuous discussion with decision maker and stakeholder common scenarios about possible future changes will be developed and these results will also feed this chapter dynamically.
