Project GreenLight
This project, developing an instrument called GreenLight, measures, monitors, and optimizes the energy consumption of large-scale scientific applications from many different areas.
The New Role of Science and Engineering in Risk Reduction
This grant funded the development of a computer/information science cyberinfrastructure research agenda within the context of homeland security.

The Growing Interdependence Of The Internet And Climate Change – IEEE Internet Computing Magazine
The paradox of the rapidly expanding use of Internet computing is that it’s becoming a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time, its increased use could help decrease emissions from the building, transportation, and electrical grid sectors. University and college campuses are ideal “living laboratories” for system-level experimentation on how […]

Greening the Internet in a Carbon-Constrained World – Xconomy
This year marks a turning point in the debate on global climate change. The focus of the discussion is rapidly moving from a scientific analysis of how human activity affects climate change to a political process on how best to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Dr. Jürgen P. Schulze describes the immersive visualization application built for the Greenlight Project.
Project Aims To Improve Energy Efficiency Of Computing – ScienceDaily
The IT industry consumes as much energy and has roughly the same carbon "footprint" as the airline industry. Now scientists and engineers are building an instrument to test the energy efficiency of computing systems under real-world conditions -- with the ultimate goal of getting computer designers and users in the scientific community to rethink the way they do their jobs.
