High-Performance Computing Aids in Predicting Oil Dispersal During Spills

October 21, 2020

Supercomputer simulations, done using resources at UC San Diego by researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), show how oil dilutes under specific conditions, which may lead to more effective countermeasures against large oil spills.

Kawasaki Disease is not a Homogenous Disease nor are its Triggers

September 29, 2020

Researchers at UC San Diego report that while Kawasaki disease occurs in clusters, the traits, and thus the triggers of the inflammatory disease vary among clusters.

Scripps Receives NOAA Award to Study Clouds, One of the Largest Uncertainties in Climate Change
