This program activity targets the dissemination of high performance computing and advanced environmental modeling capabilities to select groups from industry, State and federal sectors. The industrial group is represented by a consortium, the Consortium for Advanced Modeling of Regional Air Quality. The target groups of State users are selected from States with professionals involved in front-line environmental decision making and using models of regional and urban air quality. Pilot users gain first-hand experience on how high performance computing can alleviate many of their decision making constraints while at the same time they work with developers to ensure that system capabilities and interfaces address their needs. A high performance computing learning environment is created through workshops, involvement of professional trainers and curriculum developers, and establishment of a `virtual center` which functions remotely through Internet to support a distributed base of users of environmental models for decision making across the country.
Funding also supported EPA's EarthVision computational science educational program for high school students, graduate students, training fellowships, conferences and workshops. |
