Description

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory represents one of the most ambitious scientific projects in astrophysics, designed to address fundamental questions about the origins, structure, and evolution of the universe. With its unprecedented capacity for data generation, the SKA will produce exabytes of information annually, posing extraordinary challenges in data processing, storage, and scientific visualization. Central to this endeavour are the SKA Regional Centres (SRCs), distributed facilities that will play a pivotal role in enabling researchers worldwide to access, process, and analyse these vast datasets efficiently.
This talk will delve into the critical role of the SRCs as the operational backbone of the SKA ecosystem. We will explore their contributions to the pipeline that transforms raw observational data into actionable scientific insights, ensuring that this knowledge can be shared effectively across the global scientific community. Special attention will be given to the challenges of scientific visualization in the Big Data era, including the development of scalable techniques and tools to manage and interpret multi-dimensional datasets.
