Description
The Earth System Services group is part of the Earth Sciences Department (http://bsc.es/earth-sciences) in the Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS). We follow a multidisciplinary approach, closely collaborating with the other research groups within the department (Climate Prediction, Atmospheric Composition and Computational Earth Sciences). We also support other groups at BSC, mainly technology transfer, communications, visualisation, education and outreach.
Knowledge and technology transfer, via tailored services, is essential to bridge the gap between science and its end users in key sectors of society (energy, urban development, agriculture and water management, insurance...). The Earth Sciences Department develops in-house non-profit services in the field of weather and atmospheric composition forecasting and climate predictions via projects in collaboration with public administrations, private contracts with companies of funding agencies, and spin-off companies that could exploit operational opportunities.
