Current and Completed Projects

Cal-Adapt: Data Platform

Eagle Rock Analytics is the lead on developing the Cal-Adapt: Analytics Engine, a cloud-based analytical data platform that will guide users to customized and scientifically vetted climate data, specifically selected for their location and question of interest.  This novel cloud-based platform will provide vast computational resources to utilities and regulators as well as the ability to find, process and grab climate data for their workflows.  This work is supported by the California Energy Commission through the EPIC Research Program.

A cloud-based, historical, near-real time and near-future platform, to enable California's energy sector access to high-quality, open climate and weather data.  This historical data platform will seamlessly integrated with the Cal-Adapt: Data Platform described above.  The project will quantify weather and climate risk to California's ageing natural gas system infrastructure.  This work is supported by Public Interest Energy Research funding from California Energy Commission.

Weather data for energy

Eagle Rock Analytics was selected to produce a curated high-resolution record of temperature and other weather variables to support California's Energy Sector.  A trend analysis revealed asymmetric warming in California, with major implications for the cost of electricity to ratepayers. This work was supported by the California Energy Commission through the EPIC Research Program.

Cal-Adapt

Eagle Rock Analytics is the lead for Cal-Adapt, a portal containing tools and visualizations that connect results and findings from California’s research and scientific community with stakeholders and the general public.  Our role is to direct the development of the next generation of data tools and visualizations, which will support California's Fifth Climate Assessment.  This work is supported by Public Interest Energy Research funding from California Energy Commission.

Harmful Algal Blooms

Harmful Algal Blooms critically impact coastal waters and fresh waters across the United States.  We have developed statistical models that explain how changes in water temperature are leading to conditions more favorable to algal growth.  This work has been featured in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.  Eagle Rock Analytics is proud to collaborate with Dr. Chris Gobler of Stony Brook University on this novel work.

Changing Estuaries

Eagle Rock Analytics analyzed 20 years of biochemical, atmospheric and physical data to assess the degree to which Delaware’s estuaries have been impacted by climate change.  This work was supported by Delaware’s National Estuarine Research Reserve.

Wildfire and Climate

Eagle Rock Analytics is a member of Pyregence: California's efforts to better understand the relationship between extreme weather and wildfire occurrence.  Eagle Rock's work includes generation of a siting algorithm to optimize the locations of weather stations, and support of efforts to characterize key regional weather patterns that contribute to fire events.  This work is led by the Spatial Informatics Group and supported by the California Energy Commission through the EPIC Research Program.
