-Marcus is a Research Engineer in the Computational Earth Sciences Group. He has a BSc (with Honours) in Mathematics from the University of St Andrews, Scotland and a Master’s in Modelling for Science and Engineering from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). Having focused on applied mathematics during his Bachelor’s (including dynamical systems, fluid mechanics, differential equations and symbolic computation) he completed his final year dissertation on numerical weather modelling. During his time in the Master’s, he took an internship at Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) where he worked on the assessment of model performance of meteorological and air quality models over Barcelona using Python. He has worked in the Earth Science department since September 2018, working very closely with the biogeochemists in the Climate Prediction Group as part of the ORCAS project. This work has involved implementing the Transport Matrix Method (TMM) to the ocean model, processing and reformatting raw data from autonomous sensors from the ocean to be used by departmental tools, and analysing different methods to perform sensitivity analysis, including the use of a genetic algorithm and Uranie for the ESCAPE2 project.

With a background in Physics and Meteorology (degrees from the University of Barcelona; UB), she obtained her PhD from Rovira i Virgili University (URV) in 2017 on Climate variability and Change detection in the central Pyrenees using instrumental and paleoclimate proxy data. This expertise includes quality control and homogenization methodologies for observed in-situ data, as well as, the methodologies to explore the relationship between natural proxies (tree-ring data and lake sediments) and observed climate, such as time series analysis and spectral analysis (e.g.: clustering, Principal Component Analysis and Wavelet analysis). During the thesis, one year and a half of research stay in LOCEAN (Laboratoire d’Océanographie et du Climat) allowed to work in the reconstruction of past modes of variability. She is the author of 8 peer-reviewed articles in international journals. She was recognized with the Eduard Fontserè 2015 international award for the study of mortality due to heatwaves in the Barcelona metropolitan area. After working in the H2020 Indecis project as a postdoctoral researcher in the URV, she is currently working in Earth Sciences department at BSC, mainly involved in several Copernicus Climate Change Contracts (C3S_512, MAGIC,...) and the MEDSCOPE ERA4CS project. She is also coordinating the development and maintenance of the R tools of the department which cover the scientific needs from loading big datasets until applied best state-of-the-art methodologies for correcting, assessing, calibrating and processing sub-seasonal to decadal forecast and climate projections by adapting them efficiently to High Performance Computing resources. +

 +Alba Vilanova Cortezón holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, earned at University of Lleida and Inha University, and obtained the Master's degree in Geospatial Technologies from NOVA University of Lisbon, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster and Jaume I University. Before joining the Computational Earth Sciences department in March 2022, she did an internship at Korea Institute of Energy Research and assessed the energy potential of the photovoltaic power plants located in South Korea using satellite-derived irradiance data. Following this and before starting her master’s degree, she worked as a software developer at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems and contributed to the Open Energy Modelling Framework, a collection of Python libraries for the modelling of energy systems. In 2021 she participated in ECMWF Summer of Weather Code, an innovation programme run by ECMWF and Copernicus with the aim to drive innovation and open-source developments in the earth science community. Within this framework, she developed the Atmospheric Datasets Comparison Toolbox to facilitate the comparison of satellite- and model-based data on atmospheric composition, such as data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), from TROPOMI and from the GOME-2 and IASI instruments onboard the polar-orbiting Metop-ABC satellites, providing a set of functions regarding the file interoperability, binning and regridding, computation of levels pressure, units conversion, application of the averaging kernels, datasets merge, geostatistical comparison and trend analysis. Currently, her work at Barcelona Supercomputing Center is focused on the implementation of new features in Providentia, a Python-based software used to evaluate air quality models given data from different observation networks. In addition to this, she is working on the development of an I/O library called NES (NetCDF for Earth Science) to read, write and manipulate atmospheric models in different geographical projections for the operational workflows.
