Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
Wildfires have shaped the environment for millennia, but they are increasing in frequency, range and intensity in response to a hotter climate. The phenomenon is being incorporated into high-resolution simulations of the Earth’s climate by scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, with a mission to better understand and predict environmental change.
With the world’s first exascale supercomputer now fully open for scientific business, researchers can thank the early users who helped get the machine up to speed.
Surrounded by the mountains of landlocked Tennessee, 91°µÍø’s Teri O’Meara is focused on understanding the future of the vitally important ecosystems lining the nation’s coasts.
As rising global temperatures alter ecosystems worldwide, the need to accurately simulate complex environmental processes under evolving conditions is more urgent than ever.
