About the Climate Center
The Climate Center is one of the entryways to Data Basin, the on-line database with data manipulation tools created by the Conservation Biology Institute (CBI).
The Climate Center:
- lists the most recent datasets, maps and galleries with relevance to climate change issues.
- provides special features that tell stories around specific datasets available in Data Basin.
- provides news briefs about recent publications or observations of change.
- highlights climate change-related data providers and climate change experts.
- CBI staff are working on developing special tools that will help provide climate change guidance
The Climate Center is being built to meet users needs. Let us know what you like to see or if you are interested in featuring your work. For any questions or feedback, please contact Dr. Dominique Bachelet (dominique at consbio.org). Read more about the Climate Center.
The Data Basin Climate Center was built in collaboration with the Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) built by EcoAdapt and Island Press. Read more about CAKE.

Ben Poulter received his Ph D in 2005 from the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University, USA. After doing his postdoctoral fellowship at Duke, he moved to the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany, where he used the dynamic global vegetation model LPJ, as a postdoc part of the Marie Curie Research Training Network supported by the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme. Ben also worked at the Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL for two years as a Marie Curie Fellow, concentrating on regional climate impacts and vegetation modeling in mountain systems. He is now (2011) moving to the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environment in Paris working with Philippe Ciais and the Orchidee model.
