The Research Computing Services (RCS) team within ITS works closely with researchers to develop purpose-built software that furthers their research programs.
RCS supports Carleton research projects that address some of today’s most pressing global environmental and social problems.
A project with Civil and Environmental Engineering Prof. Scott Bucking uses machine learning to estimate building energy consumption, helping speed up the estimation of energy consumption and allowing energy providers to better adapt to client demands.
Meanwhile, a project with Prof. Stephen Gruber resulted in an RCS-designed interactive browser for permafrost data, providing better spatial estimates of ground-ice content impacted by climate change.
