Computation of Things presented at HMUN 2010

A pleasure to join the conference called Harvard Model United Nations 2010 taking place in the last weekend of January 2010.

Delightfully, I was asked to speak during the morning Saturday's session (10am) under the framework for the Committee on Science and Technology for Development.

The subject of my talk was mostly inspired by the professional events of my life in the last few years… Continue

Climate models

Climate models are still in an underdeveloped state. Though, in five to ten years from now, there is a potential that the situation changes, some scientists predict.

Let us look at the issue closer.
In the physorg news last month, a few statements of Mahowald and Hess raise my attention. "Models of the physical climate that attempt to predict how the interaction of land, atmosphere, and oceans will determine future t… Continue

Supercomputation nowadays

I have been traveling around in the last month and this has contributed to my better understanding of Computation, in general, and in the context of climate change-related issues.

And so, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) impressed me a lot with its ability of applying the supercomputation power for climate predictions.

To that end, the… Continue
