 		COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH IN BOSTON SEMINAR

DATE:	  Friday, December 2, 2005
TIME:     12:30 PM
LOCATION: Building 32, Room 144 (Stata Center)

(Pizza and beverages will be provided outside of Room 32-144.)


TITLE:  Toward planetary brain scans, high-resolution monitoring and
 	measuring of the global ocean and sea-ice system.

SPEAKER:  Christopher Hill (Massachusetts Institute of Technology -- EAPS)

ABSTRACT:

This talk will review work underway to develop a high-resolution 
monitoring and measuring system for tracking the ocean and sea-ice climate 
of the Earth. The work centers on combining large observational data sets 
with state of the art numerical suimulation tools in a formal mathematical 
optimization framework. This is a major computational Earth science 
challenge which involves bringing together large-scale computational 
resources, advanced algorithmic and computational science concepts.
