Where climate classes may move
Koppen-Geiger maps compare historical and future climate regions across Europe and the Mediterranean.
Work
Climate Change
Research on how climate regions, comfort conditions, and winter heating zones may shift across Europe and the Mediterranean.
Stage
A map of changing climates.
The work brings together climate classes, comfort conditions, and winter heating zones to ask what changing baselines mean for design and regulation.
From climate classes to comfort
Givoni-Milne maps bring the comparison closer to changing comfort conditions and passive design.
A warmer map of winter heating
A published 2025 study uses heating degree days to test how European winter heating zones may shift through 2100.
Backstage
How I turned climate files into maps I could compare.
I grouped the climate data into periods, applied each classification through a repeatable workflow, and kept the model and scenario behind every map visible.
I compared periods, not single years
I set historical and future periods side by side instead of relying on one weather file or one forecast.
I built a repeatable data workflow
I used Python and CDO to process NetCDF4 archives, calculate indicators, apply classifications, and draw comparable maps.
I kept papers as outcomes
The papers, posters, and maps stay together under one research topic instead of becoming separate map nodes.
