Pharos BSI App

Pharos has a data fusion platform for geospatial and spatiotemporal data. This project will extend the platform to cover additional data sources, such as flood risk data, and allow for the on-demand calculation of decision-relevant metrics. This requires an investigation of the underlying data, methods to combine sources, and development of pipelines for efficient automation. Sourcing and ingestion, data management and conversion, bias-correction and transformation, and validation are required to produce a decision-useful data product. By adding these variables, Pharos will be able to access new markets and offer a more complete solution to existing customers who want to incorporate weather and climate data into their analytics workflow.
