Inria has one of its five main focuses modeling and simulation, emphasizing the modeling of environmental and geophysical phenomena. Recent results in these areas have created essential opportunities, but at the same time, they imply significant challenges.
At Inria Chile, we seek to develop these directions and, in turn, apply these principles in projects related to marine ecology, climate change mitigation, accident prevention, mining, intelligent agriculture, among others.
