The Reading e-Science Centre (ReSC)

ReSC develops and promotes innovative research computing methods through collaborations with academia, government agencies and industry, with a particular focus on the environmental sciences. It is hosted at the Environmental Systems Science Centre at the University of Reading.

Visualization

ncWMS

ReSC's ncWMS software is used by research institutes, operational forecasting agencies and industry to visualize large multidimensional datasets quickly and easily on the web.

Intercomparison

OceanDIVA

The ability to compare different sources of environmental data is at the heart of environmental science. We are developing new technology to reduce the technical barriers to common intercomparison tasks in the OceanDIVA and MashMyData projects.

 

Collaboration

Access Grid

ReSC provides an Access Grid facility for enabling videoconferencing and data-sharing. We are also developing the use of sophisticated blogging tools to enable collaboration in the BlogMyData project.

Computation

Computed Storm Tracks

We provide access to many different kinds of computing facilities, including a campus Condor pool and a compute cluster. We can also provide advice on using national facilities such as the UK National Grid Service.

ReSC was formed in November 2003. Its activities are funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, the European Commission, JISC and industrial sponsors.
