Overview of ARSC Computational Science Activities

TUESDAY, JULY 17
1-2 p.m. 010 West Ridge Research Building (WRRB)

Chief Scientist for the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center Greg Newby will lead a panel discussion for the general public on the breadth and depth of computational science activities at ARSC, Alaska's only full-service high performance supercomputing facility, Tuesday, July 17 at 1 p.m., in room 010 of the West Ridge Research Building. Newby's presentation is part of an ongoing series at ARSC during the summer to demonstrate how computer and information-based technologies are applied to solving real world problems.

From small-scale molecular dynamics to multi-decade climate study, ARSC's systems, storage, networks and people make many research projects nationwide possible. An overview of ARSC's facilities will be presented, along with new visualizations of scientific computation output.

The weekly summer science seminars are hosted at UAF by ARSC every Tuesday at 1 p.m. in WRRB 010. Scientists and researchers who are using the highly sophisticated and exceptionally fast computational abilities at ARSC are presenting the weekly seminars.

UAF's supercomputing center has aided in the development of 3-D computer models of tsunamis, space weather and volcanic eruptions, which have helped provide accurate and timely emergency response information to the public. Other projects focus on computer modeling of the ocean to detect shrinking polar ice caps or monitor fluctuations of fish, bird and marine mammals.
