Pontocaspian Information System PC-IS
Welcome to PC-IS, the Pontocaspian Information system. This system contains information on climate data, anthropogenic pressures and biodiversity in the Caspian Sea - Black Sea region ("the Pontocaspian"). As part of the PRIDE program we have been assembling occurrence data of the threatened Pontocaspian molluscs in our PC-Tax system Pontocaspian Taxonomy platform PC-Tax.The combined PC-Tax and PC-IS systems will allow you to explore aspects of climate, environment and biodiversity in the Pontocaspian region.
