BELLA IMPACT: BELLA connectivity is bringing benefits to High Energy Physics research
In September 2021 we witnessed the official launch of BELLA, the new transcontinental link that interconnects the research network backbones in Europe (GÉANT) and Latin America (RedCLARA). The inauguration event took place online at TICAL, RedCLARA’s annual conference.
BELLA impact – Large data exchanges and high-capacity connectivity will enable the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to open a new window to the Universe
Connectivity can be a major hurdle for global collaborative research organisations. Such initiatives are progressively taking centre stage as humanity seeks to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time and to answer questions about the universe.
BELLA IMPACT: Latin America can tackle climate emergencies with high-speed and reliable access to vital Copernicus Earth Observation data
Scientists, citizens and organisations want to help fight climate change for a brighter future, researching, developing and implementing innovative solutions that also create employment and drive economic growth.
Copernicus: technology allied to Earth observation
Decreasing of air pollution during the pandemic of coronavirus, monitoring of climate changes, and forest fire alerts. These are some of the interesting activities and researches for Brazil and for the world that make usage of the data generated by the Copernicus project. The
Chilean scientists watch explosion of 61 supernovas in real-time
Recently, a group of scientists from the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) of the Universidad de Chile were able see the explosion of 61 supernovas in real time, just hours after they appeared in space.
LAGO Observatory: The Latin American Giant using Advanced Networks
The data generated between the different LAGO centers are transferred through the Advanced Networks. Depending on the number of detectors, 5 to 10 GB are processed monthly for each site, as indicated by Dr. Torres, principal investigator of the project.
