Three extreme expeditions to understand human adaptation to 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.

Human Adaptation Institute

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.
