7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 From: Sara Barsotti <sara@xxxxxxxx> Postdoctoral position in atmospheric dispersal modelling and HPC at the Icelandic Meteorological Office A temporary, two-year postdoc position is available within a research EU project called DT-GEO: A Digital Twin for Geophysical Extremes. This is a three-year project that started in September 2022. The project is managed by the Spanish institution CSIC and the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) is responsible for developing a Digital Twin Component (DTC) for the forecasting of volcanic gases. The project relies on the cooperative networks of 26 research institutions, building upon existing knowledge from other European projects and Centres of Excellence and pushing it forward. To achieve its goals, DT-GEO will build the components of a Digital Twin- virtual replica of physical systems that combine real-time data streams and high-fidelity models. Digital twins are built on interactive digital platforms, which allow for continuous observation and simulation of supercomputing tasks to recreate present and future scenarios. DT-GEO capitalises on the outburst of supercomputing and technical capabilities to carry out advanced, real-time modelling and analysis for diagnostics and forecasting. DT-GEO research will help address specific scientific questions and technical challenges related to hazard assessment, early warning forecast, or urgent computing. The postdoc will contribute to the developing of new numerical tools and solutions for improving the forecasting of volcanic gas pollution during volcanic eruptions by implementing state-of-the-art HPC resources and processing large dataset for recent eruptions in Iceland.
