Climate projections

Climate Change Explorer

Explore projections, compare scenarios and simulate climate change impacts on Chilean watersheds.

Climate Change Explorer is a web platform focused on analyzing future climate change impacts at the watershed scale. It allows users to explore climate projections, compare scenarios, assess changes in key variables and use thematic simulators to support planning, risk assessment and decision-making.

It was designed for organizations that need to go beyond data visualization and have an applied, clear and flexible platform to analyze possible climate futures in Chile.

Explore future scenarios, compare watersheds and simulate climate impacts in minutes, not months

Climate data exists, but reaching actionable results is slow, expensive and requires specialized teams. Most organizations end up with static reports that become outdated within weeks.

Without the platform

  • Weeks downloading NetCDF files and processing CMIP models
  • Python/R scripts that nobody else on the team understands
  • Results hard to communicate to decision-makers
  • High budgets for every new watershed analysis
  • Static reports that become obsolete on delivery

With Climate Change Explorer

  • Ready-to-use projections, comparable and exportable in minutes
  • Visual interface — no code, no massive downloads
  • Clear visualizations for executives and counterparts
  • Flat monthly cost — all the analyses you need
  • A living platform updated with new data

Who it's built for

Companies

Organizations that need to assess climate sensitivity and support territorial or productive planning.

Consultancies

Teams looking to strengthen studies and analyses with a modern and applied platform.

Public institutions

Agencies and governments working on adaptation, planning and territorial management.

R&D

Groups that need to explore scenarios and communicate results clearly.

Built on recognized climate science

Every simulation is backed by methodological frameworks used in the scientific literature and in standard practice across the international climate community.

CMIP6 models

Multi-model ensembles from the sixth IPCC cycle under multiple SSP scenarios.

Bias-corrected with local data

Projections adjusted with local observations to capture actual climate behavior at the watershed scale.

Uncertainty metrics

Inter-model agreement, ranges and robustness made explicit — not a single projection line.

Continuous updates

New data, watersheds and modules are integrated at no extra cost during your subscription.

A platform that grows with its clients

Climate Change Explorer evolves together with those who use it. We listen to each client's feedback so the platform improves over time and delivers results that are increasingly accurate and aligned with their needs.

We listen

Every client has a direct channel to propose improvements, report needs and prioritize what brings the most value.

We iterate

We incorporate fixes, new modules and methodological improvements continuously, without disrupting platform use.

We adjust

Results become more accurate and relevant for each context, sector and watershed over time.

Frequently asked questions

How does it compare to hiring a climate consultancy?

A typical consultancy delivers a static report in weeks or months, with a high fixed cost. The platform delivers unlimited, repeatable and updatable analyses for a fraction of the cost. It doesn't replace expert judgment when it's needed, but it removes the repetitive work of extracting and visualizing projections.

What if my watershed of interest isn't covered yet?

Coverage is actively expanding. If your watershed isn't available yet, we can prioritize its integration as part of onboarding — contact us to review the specific case.

Can I try the platform before subscribing?

Yes. We offer a free guided demo where we walk through the platform with your real use case. If you need a longer technical evaluation, we can arrange trial access.

What does the fee include? Are there hidden costs?

The fee includes full access to the subscribed plan, updates, new data and watersheds added over time, and support according to plan level. There are no fees for additional analyses or overconsumption. Prices are quoted in USD and taxes are not included.

Can I subscribe monthly, semi-annually or annually? Is there a mandatory term?

Monthly, 6-month and annual options are available (with discounts for upfront payment). There is no mandatory term — you can cancel anytime. Annual plans have preferential pricing.

What climate data and models does it use?

The platform is based on multi-model CMIP6 ensembles under multiple SSP scenarios, with bias correction and downscaling to Chilean geography. Uncertainty metrics and inter-model agreement are shown explicitly so every analysis remains scientifically interpretable.

Can custom modules or simulators be added?

Yes. On Business and Enterprise plans, Boreal Austral can develop modules, simulators or integrations according to the client's needs (e.g. custom indicators, internal formulas, integration with existing systems).

How are public institutions billed?

We issue electronic invoices and can adapt to public procurement and tender processes. The Enterprise plan is specifically designed for institutional billing and multi-user licensing.

Does it include support and training?

All plans include email support. Business adds priority support and onboarding. Enterprise includes team training, SLA and dedicated support.
