The Computational Earth Sciences (CES) group is a multidisciplinary team within the Earth Sciences Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) that develops, maintains, and optimises computational applications, tools and infrastructures supporting environmental and climate research.
CES brings together computer scientists and engineers who work closely with other scientific teams to ensure efficient, scalable, and sustainable use of Information Technology (IT) resources, with a special focus on High-Performance Computing (HPC). The group’s mission is to enable and accelerate scientific discovery in Earth system modelling, atmospheric processes, ocean information systems, and air quality studies through advanced computing, data management, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.
The group’s activities focus on the following areas:
The CES group is led by Mario Acosta and Miguel Castrillo, and is organised into four specialised teams and eight units, each addressing complementary aspects of computational Earth sciences:
| Student | Advisor(s) | Project | Dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manuel G. Marciani | Gladys Utrera, Mario C. Acosta | Enhancing Workflow Efficiency in High-Performance Computing Environments for Earth Sciences | November 2023 - November 2026 |
| Sergi Palomas | Gladys Utrera, Mario C. Acosta | Optimizing Earth science simulations: enhancing performance metrics, benchmarking, and evaluation tools for high-performance architectures. | Dec 2023 - Dec 2026 |
In this section, one can find some guidelines when starting working in CES
In the CES group, we are not only computer guys and girls, we are also cooks!
