ABOUT US

Equinocio is a consultancy providing numerical simulation services to support a better understanding of dynamic systems in environmental science, management and business.

Alvaro B.Buoro is the founder of the company. He created Equinocio three years ago to explore new ways of proposing solutions to complex problems.

Background in geosciences with a Ph.D. in quantifying uncertainty and data analysis.

More than 15 years of experience in environmental modeling and an increasing interest to bring science to practical matters within a sustainable view of the world.

The name Equinocio comes from the Latin aequinoctium and means equal night, referring to the two days of the year when day and night have the same length. For us this is a reflex of our view in the modelling exercise: we bring ‘light’ in a place but there will always be another part in the dark. It is a fair trade look for a ‘equinocio’ place in modelling by remembering that another part will stay in the dark (not described in the conceptual model).
