Human-induced climate change reduces chance of flooding in Okavango Delta
Researchers at the University of Cape Town, Berkeley Lab and the United Nations Development Programme have analyzed how human-induced climate change has affected recent flooding in an ecologically and geographically unique river basin in southern Africa—the Okavango River. After running a number of simulations, they found that greenhouse gas emissions have substantially reduced the chance of the floods in the region. Read More »
Petascale Post-Doc Project a Supercomputing Success Story
The first post-doctoral research project centered at NERSC is being credited with helping its participants advance their careers and boosting the state-of-the-art in high performance scientific computing software applications. Read More »
Democratizing Science With High Speed Networks
For the first time, data collected and analyzed by a very remote user of National Center for Electron Microcopy (NCEM) via the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) has been published. As a result, many scientists are optimistic about the future of remote microscopy for DOE supported science. Read More »
A New Mathematics for Experimental Science
In the age of high-resolution detectors and international research collaborations, math has the potential to transform science and accelerate discovery. But this will require state-of-the-art math. That’s where the Center for Applied Mathematics for Energy Research Applications (CAMERA) comes in. Read More »
A Conversation with Berkeley Lab’s ‘Pi Guy’: David Bailey
In 1993 B.G. (before Google), when writers for The Simpsons needed the 40,000th decimal digit of π (pi) for a punch line in season four’s “Marge in Chains” episode, they turned to mathematician and computer scientist David Bailey who confirmed that the digit was 1. And his reputation as the “Pi Guy” was set. Read More »

Simulations Shed Light on Pine Island Glacier’s Stability
The rapid retreat of Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier has perhaps reached a point of no return, say three international modeling teams who ran a number of simulations to model the glacier’s behavior. To do this work, they relied on three different ice-flow models including BISICLES, which was developed by a collaboration that included Berkeley Lab computational scientists. Read More »
The Great Light Sources of Europe
Last month, David Brown and Craig Tull of the Computational Research Division (CRD) and Alex Hexemer of the Advanced Light Source went on a 10-day tour of Europe's light sources. Their stops included, Garching, Karlsruhe, Villigen, Hamburg and Oxford. Read More »
