ETH Zürich has transferred 100 petabytes of NASA climate and environmental data to the Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano. The project, led by former NASA research chief Thomas Zurbuchen, seeks to utilize this data to train AI models for improved forecasting of weather and natural disasters.
The transfer required several months of work by ETH engineers, and the data will be stored at the CSCS, which is equipped with the powerful Alps supercomputer. Concerns over potential budget cuts and the future of data services under the Trump administration motivated this initiative. The project is viewed as essential for ensuring the availability of scientific data amidst uncertainties.
