Data from: A web platform for landuse, climate, demography, hydrology and beach erosion in the Black Sea catchment

The Black Sea hydrological catchment spans 23 countries and is facing important demographic, climatic and land use changes that can potentially lead to increase the pollution, vulnerability and scarcity of water resources, as well as beach erosion through sea level rise. The limited access to reliable time-series on environmental, statistical, and socio-economical monitoring data is a major barrier to informed-policy and decision-making. To address these issues, a web-based platform was developed to enable discovery and access to key environmental information for the region. This platform is made publically available without restriction and covers: Land Use, Climate, and Demographic scenarios; Hydrology and related Water vulnerability and Scarcity; as well as Beaches erosion. Each data set has been obtained with state-of-the-art modelling tools from available monitoring data using appropriate validation methods. These analyses were conducted using global/regional data sets. The data sets are intended for national to regional assessments, for instance for the prioritizing of environmental protection projects and investments. Together they form a unique set of information that is setting the scene of the Black Sea catchment according to future plausible change scenarios, both for scientific and policy purposes.
