This is the third volume of a three-volume final report, which
thoroughly describes, synthesizes and analyzes the results of the
four-year Integrated Research Project CIRCE - Climate Change and Impact
Research: Mediterranean Environment, funded by the EU 6th Framework
Programme. Conducted under the auspices of the National Institute of
Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome, Italy, the study was designed to
