Energy and Enviro/ NMCAC Partnership
Energy and Environment (E&E) is an independent IAS thrust area which includes Information Science and Technology (IS&T) components such as modeling energy economics and transport as well as climate modeling. The IAS IS&T effort partners with the E&E thrust area on IS&T components. IS&T will participate in the E&E led workshops planned this year to define E&E priorities for the IAS in FY '09. The IAS shares an interest in the IS&T component of E&E with the New Mexico Computing Applications Center (NMCAC) and partners with NMCAC on programs in this area.
Global Energy Observatory
The transition from today’s energy systems, based on fossil fuels, to a future decarbonized or carbon-neutral infrastructure is a problem of global dimensions, but one for which there is no accepted solution, either at the international, national, or regional levels. The Global Energy Observatory is an effort to map (collect, collate and geo-reference), monitor and model energy infrastructures, resources and technologies. By providing the data and models as a moderated Wiki and using open tools we aim to engage the public and experts. Our goal is to use Open Models to understand the evolving energy systems on a global level and to facilitate the transition to a carbon-neutral world while providing affordable energy for all.
IAS '08 Annual Conference, May 22-23, Las Cruces
The 2008 IAS Conference was held May 22 and 23 in Las Cruces. The conference was held in partnership with the New Mexico Computing Applications Center (NMCAC). Over 100 scientists from across New Mexico met to propose and evaluate research initiatives for the NMCAC.
