Tuesday, April 30th, 2013Berkeley Code Captures Retreating Antarctic Ice
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013Satellite observations suggest that the shrinking West Antarctic ice sheet is contributing to global sea level rise. But until recently, scientists could not accurately model the physical processes driving retreat of the ice sheet. Now, a new ice sheet model — called Berkeley-ISICLES (BISICLES) — is shedding light on these details, with the help of Lab computing scientists. This video shows one possible scenario for Antarctica’s rapidly changing Amundsen Sea Embayment at two different model resolutions over a period of 218 years (from 1982 to 2200). More>
Computing Sciences Staff Appear in France 24 News Video
Monday, March 18th, 2013“Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, servers are ready to respond to the explosion of digital information that we generate every time we use the internet. These data centres can use more electricity than a small town, and up to a whopping 90% of it is wasted. High-tech giants are now looking to put their machines on a miracle energy diet. France 24 went to California to find out more. ” So begins a news video from France 24 that includes excerpts of interviews with Brent Draney and John Shalf of NERSC — Draney discussing running an energy-efficient data center, and Shalf discussing his research into energy-efficient computer chips.
Eco-Rapper’s Video Offers a Low-Carbon Message — Gangnam Style
Thursday, March 7th, 2013
Korean rapper Park Jae-sang (aka Psy) knows how to get a message across. At last count his “Gangnam Style” video amassed a record 1.3 billion hits on YouTube. This was not lost on EETD eco-rapper John “Sustainable John” Romankiewicz, who spied another opportunity to promote green living. During his last trip to Beijing, as part of the Lab’s China Energy Group, they choreographed and shot “Di Tan Style,” which translates to “Low Carbon Style.” Like the original from Psy, this video sort of sings for itself.
