The University of California at San Diego is awarded a grant to build an end-to-end cyberinfrastructure, called WIFIRE, for real-time and data-driven simulation, prediction and visualization of wildfire behavior.
The need for descriptive and predictive simulation tools to support wildfire prevention, or suppression during future wildfire events, is becoming critical.
The CAMERA (Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis) community database for metagenomic data deposition is an important first step in developing methods for monitoring microbial communities.
This project involves research and experimentation with cyberinfrastructure components in order to develop and prototype new approaches to information technology for ocean observing systems.
