Globus Online and ESnet Partner for Scientific Data Management

November 15, 2012

SALT LAKE CITY, UT –  Globus Online and the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) today announced a new collaboration to help scientists better manage the growing amounts of data they need to move, share, and analyze worldwide. As partners, the organizations plan to develop joint outreach and educational programs designed for small and medium science collaborations that have not traditionally used data transfer tools and advanced networking as part of their workflow, but who will soon require… Read More »

Berkeley Lab Staff Speak at Albany High's Annual Career Day

November 14, 2012

Computing Sciences staff members and other Berkeley Lab researchers were among the 40 professionals who discussed their work at Albany High School's annual Career Day on November 14, 2012.  Dan Martin of CRD's Applied Numerical Algorithms Group discussed his work on BISICLES, a project to model the shrinking ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland. Peter Nugent of CRD's Computational Cosmology Center, described the search for supernovae and how they can be used to learn more about the… Read More »

In April 2010, an explosion at the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig caused about 53,000 barrels of crude oil to spew into the Gulf of Mexico every day for nearly three months. Read More »

Department of Energy's Investment Ensures AmeriFlux Data for All

October 31, 2012

Twenty years ago, researchers began installing state-of-the-art flux sensors in a variety of ecosystems across North, Central and South America—from tundra to tropical forests, and everything in between—to study how carbon dioxide (C02), water vapor and energy cycles through the atmosphere, plants and soil. Today, these sensors have been deployed at more than 120 locations across the Americas. Read More »
