Deep Climate → Christian Clos' scientific expedition
Gear(s) used
The Deep Climate project, launched by the Human Adaptation Institute under the leadership of explorer and researcher Christian Clot, recently concluded after a series of three immersive expeditions into extreme climate environments. This initiative aims to study human adaptability in the face of extreme weather conditions caused by climate change.
These expeditions have made it possible to collect a multitude of physiological, cognitive and behavioral data, which will be analyzed by around forty scientists to better understand human adaptation mechanisms.

The Human Adaptation Institute is a research institute founded in 2014 by Christian Clot. It is dedicated to studying human cognitive, physiological, and social abilities to adapt to changing and extreme environments. The institute conducts immersive scientific expeditions, such as Deep Time and Deep Climate, to collect real-world data. christianclot.com By combining exploration and scientific research, the Human Adaptation Institute aims to provide valuable insights to better anticipate and manage the challenges posed by climate and environmental changes.
