Firing Up Fire Detection Efforts with Deep Learning Models

August 22, 2023

Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center have developed new deep learning models to continue improving efforts for early wildfire detection. These efforts at SDSC are led by the WIFIRE Lab, which is an all-hazards knowledge cyberinfrastructure developed as a management layer for data…

CWC 5G Wireless Forum: The Promise and the Potential of a New User Experience

December 16, 2014

It’s a testament to the excitement building around emerging fifth-generation (5G) wireless technologies that with only one month’s notice, 130 key experts from academia, government and industry met at the University of California, San Diego for the recent CWC 5G Forum on Next-Generation Wireless Systems – an opportunity to share…

Big Pixel Initiative Develops Remote Sensing Analysis to Help Map Global Urbanization

September 8, 2016

Researchers at University of California San Diego’s Big Pixel Initiative are using unique tools to map urban areas around the globe, potentially revolutionizing large-scale analysis of urbanization, land use and city growth.

Record-breaking Steel Could be Used for Body Armor, Shields for Satellites

April 5, 2016

…to body armor for soldiers, to meteor-resistant casings for satellites. The material is an amorphous steel alloy, a promising subclass of steel alloys made of arrangements of atoms that deviate from steel’s classical crystal-like structure, where iron atoms occupy specific locations.

Scientists Identify Climate Change as Major Contributor to Record-Breaking Marine Heatwave

May 26, 2020

Two new studies led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego highlight the significance of long-term observations for understanding ocean climate trends and events, including record-shattering marine heatwaves.

Researchers Extract First Layered Lake-Sediment Sample from Subglacial Antarctica

March 9, 2023

For the first time, a team of researchers with the National Science Foundation-funded project Subglacial Antarctic Lakes Scientific Access (SALSA) has successfully extracted layered sediments from beneath the modern Antarctic ice sheet.

Clouds seen circling supermassive black holes

February 19, 2014

Astronomers see huge clouds of gas orbiting supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. Once thought to be a relatively uniform, fog-like ring, the accreting matter instead forms clumps dense enough to intermittently dim the intense radiation blazing forth as these enormous objects condense and consume matter, they report…
