IMPACTS: On the Threshold of Abrupt Climate Changes
|
Abrupt climate change is a potential menace that hasn’t received much attention. That’s about to change. Through its Climate Change Prediction Program, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER) recently launched IMPACTS — Investigation of the Magnitudes and Probabilities of Abrupt Climate Transitions — a program led by William Collins of Berkeley Lab’s Earth Sciences Division that brings together six national laboratories and NERSC’s computers to attack the problem of abrupt climate change.
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center is the flagship supercomputer facility for the Office of Science in the U. S. Department of Energy. It carries out unclassified research in many disciplines. Find out more about science at NERSC. Learn more.
ESnet (Energy Sciences Network) is a high-speed network serving scientists and their collaborators supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. Learn more.
The Computational Research Division (CRD) creates computational tools and techniques that enable scientific breakthroughs by conducting applied research and development in computer science, computational science and applied mathematics. Learn more.
