Forecasting the wrath of a tsunami

Predicting where and when tsunamis are likely to hit shore has the potential to save many lives. At last month's International Symposium for Grids and Cloud Computing in Taipei, Taiwan, researchers presented iCOMCOT, a web-based portal which can be used to model the progression of tsunamis as they approach land.

Berkeley lab tackles next-generation climate models

Farmers, city planners, and even insurers use climate data to determine risk. To simulate severe weather, climate models are running at increasingly high resolutions that require greater processing speeds. Read about scientists’ steps to keep up with nature’s changing demands.

Brain deep dive

A chemical treatment that turns whole organs transparent, offers instant advances in the field of ‘connectomics’ — the push to map the brain’s wiring. Read about CLARITY, devised by Karl Deisseroth and his team at Stanford University in California, US.
