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).
