6 Grid and Climate Change: Climate-G The goal of Climate-G is to create an open and unified environment for climate change enabling geographical and cross-institutional data discovery, access, analysis, visualization and sharing. This is a proof of concept for the involved grid technologies and it is supported by the Earth Science Cluster Community (EGEE Project). A virtual laboratory involving partners both in Europe and US Open, distributed and service-based approach Issues: data distribution, data format heterogeneity, metadata management, security, transparent access to the system, scalable approach, … S.

EGEE - Bob Jones - June A complete architectural overview

Goal: Long-term sustainability of grid infrastructures in Europe Approach: Establish a federated model bringing together National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs) to build the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) EGI Organisation: Coordination and operation of a common multi-national, multi- disciplinary Grid infrastructure To enable and support international Grid-based collaboration To provide support and added value to NGIs To liaise with corresponding infrastructures outside Europe

Uniting our strengths to realise a sustainable European grid
