Geosciences Barcelona (GEO3BCN)

Geosciences Barcelona (acronym: GEO3BCN), formerly known as Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera (or in Spanish Instituto de Ciencias de la Tierra Jaume Almera, ICTJA) is an earth science public research institute of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). It was created in Barcelona (Spain) in 1965 (41.3847°N 2.1191°E / 41.3847; 2.1191) and it is considered among the top research institutes in Earth Sciences in Spain.It is also known in Catalan as Institut de Ciències de la Terra Jaume Almera and was created as the Instituto de Geología de Barcelona. Its former name (before 2020) referred to the Spanish geologist Jaume Almera. GEO3BCN hosts about 30 staff scientists, mounting to 70 when including contracted researchers, and to about 100 including the administration personnel (figures of 2012). Funding comes from the Spanish government, the European Union, and through project contracts with public and private companies. Research is centered primarily on: Geodynamics and dynamics of the lithosphere Tectonophysics Seismology landscape evolution over geological time-scales. Geology and Geophysics Volcanism and volcanic risk Hydrology, transport, and erosion Earthquakes and seismic engineering Erosion and surface transport Limnology and climate change Paleoenvironement and geochemistry Optical properties of solidsBeyond research, the institute serves also as a main source of counsel in emergencies related to natural risks, and for R+D programmes such as geological CO2 storageThe institute hosts one of the largest public libraries for geoscience in Spain, and runs the main geoscientific journal in the country: Geologica Acta. A paleomagnetism lab, an isotopic geochemistry facility, and an X-ray diffractometer are among other public services hosted.

Centre Nacional d'Anàlisi Genòmica

The Centre Nacional d'Anàlisi Genòmica (in Catalan), Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (in Spanish), or simply CNAG, is a genome analysis center in Barcelona that carries out large-scale projects in collaboration with researchers from Catalonia, Spain and the International research community. It has a park of 13 last-generation sequencing systems supported by an outstanding computing infrastructure of 2.6 petabytes of data storage and over 1200 cores of computing, which has enabled the center to build a sequencing capacity of over 800 Gbases/day, the equivalent of completely sequencing eight human genomes every 24 hours. This capacity positions the CNAG as one of the top European centers in terms of sequencing capacity. It is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and the Catalan Government through the Economy and Knowledge Department and the Health Department. It is located in the Parc Científic de Barcelona (PCB) that is one of the largest research clusters in Life Science in Southern Europe. The CNAG takes part in large-scale sequencing projects in areas as diverse as cancer genomics, rare disease gene identification, infectious disease genomics, genomics of model organisms, agrogenomics, epigenomics, modeling of the nucleus, comparative genomics and single cell analysis. New laboratory methods, new sequencing methods and data analytical procedures implemented and developed continuously. The CNAG is certified Illumina CS Pro – Certified Provider and Agilent Exome Sequencing Certified Provider. Since July 2015 its management was transferred to the Centre for Genomic Regulation, becoming an outstation of the latter.
