A team of researchers ran transient, or continuous, simulations on an ORNL supercomputer over three years to create the first physics-based test of hemispheric deglaciation, work that was recently featured in Nature.
ORNL made a splash at November’s SC12 supercomputing conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, demonstrating the lab’s high-performance computing achievements over the past year.
Researchers led by Gerald Meehl of the National Center for Atmospheric Research used ORNL's Jaguar supercomputer to explore just how much sea level is likely to rise and under what circumstances.
