DKRZ - Partner for Climate Research
to provide high performance computing platforms, sophisticated and high capacity data management and superior service for premium climate science.
Services:
DKRZ’s expert staff support climate scientists in the optimal utilization of the systems and offer a range of services around climate models, climate simulations and climate data: from support in carrying out climate simulations, through parallelization and optimization of the simulation programs, via management, storage and publication of the data, up to analysis and visualization of the simulation results.
Projects and Partners:
Cutting-edge research requires solid networks and strong partners. Get to know the partners and network and find out about the scientific topics handled with the support of DKRZ. DKRZ itself does not conduct climate research but is a partner in various scientific projects with the aim of further improving support for climate science.
Communication:
Climate change and model-based climate projections are time and time again at the center of public attention. On this page, you will find a variety of media and information materials illustrating, among other things, the results of climate research obtained through the assistance of DKRZ and its high performance computers.

New EU project TerraDT: A digital twin of the Earth
On January 1, 2025, the EU-funded project TerraDT started, which aims to develop a high-resolution digital twin (DT) for components of the Earth system that are missing in the previous DT models: the cryosphere (frozen regions), the vegetation of the land surface and atmospheric aerosols are now also to be incorporated. The project is coordinated by the Finnish IT Center for Science (CSC) and brings together 18 leading European institutions and organizations, among them DKRZ.
