Important background concepts:

Our activities are uniquely lying at the intersection of information technology, climate and atmospheric sciences. In a nutshell we focus on the concepts of weather, climate, renewable energy and web using a plethora of state of the art analytics to support decision-making on adaptation, sustainability and resilience.

Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions at a certain location and time. It is not uncommon for atmospheric systems such as cyclones and storms to deliver high impact weather with important socio-economic consequences. We use a plethora of datasets, models and dedicated tools to identify high impact weather and provide tailored information on imminent risks.

Climate refers to the statistical distribution of atmospheric parameters over a long, typically 30+ year time period, either at a specific location or averaged over a region. Climate change then denotes a statistically robust change of these distributions. Our analytics provide insights on weather systems and relevant hazards will evolve in the future.

Renewable energies derive from natural sources, replenished faster than they are consumed. Wind and  solar radiation are the most promising renewable energy sources and the most relevant to climate change. We use all available weather and climate datasets to address energy demands in a changing climate and combine web analytics to understand and predict behavioral response and impacts to open public and economic activities.

Web is the endless information system where we find, refine and evaluate raw information relevant to environmental hazards and climate change risks. Our web analytics are combined in a unique way with numerical tools on weather and climate datasets to quantify socio-economic impacts in a changing world.
