Clark Labs Markus,
At either of those levels, the tools in TerrSet could be applied. Land Change Modeler to analyze historic trends and project future scenarios is one method. Another tool to explore is the Climate Change Adaptation Modeler to develop future temperature and precipitation scenarios that could impact range land and other land cover.
These are just a few examples, but if you have more specific inquiries on techniques, let us know.

Markus Kappel James,
thank you for your prompt and kind answer. I am traveling at the moment and will return to Lusaka during the weekend. Then I will prepare for attending an inception workshop for a "Climate Resilient Livestock Infrastructure Project" on the 11th and 12th of August in Nakonde, done by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAL) of Zambia. 9 adjacent districts from the two northern provinces have been selected for the livestock supporting infrastructures. I am asked to undertake an environmental and climate risk assessment for the project areas (those 9 adjacent districts) including the potential impacts of the project activities (various infrastructure investments) and along with it to undertake a baseline study and a projection using GIS methodologies. So I would like to use TerrSet as part of a baseline study and expand my GIS skills - I would certainly need initial technical guidance how to approach this with TerrSet and later technical advice at some points. What would you advice? I could give you more geographic and other details about the project area etc. after returning to Lusaka next week. For the time being I am just defining some of my initial GIS approaches. Could we communicate through email or Skype. My email address is kappelmarkus@gmail.com and my Skype Id is markuskappel.
