New CU-Boulder Computer Cluster to Aid in Earth-Modeling Research

A new University of Colorado at Boulder-based supercomputer will vastly extend the ability of scientists across the globe in modeling and predicting many important aspects of Earth's surface processes, from glacial melting and flooding to coastal erosion and tropical ocean storms.

He stressed that the advantages of CSDMS ultimately extend worldwide. "The public can get access to both models and their simulation results," said Syvitski. The models all go through a process of rigorous testing, verification and standardization, he said.
