Across the University of Miami’s three campuses, faculty and students are immersed in research aimed at providing shape and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Helping to solve some of the riddles is the use of data science—big batches of information filtered through high-performance computers that aid researchers in their efforts to decipher complex formulas and create predictive applications. Here’s a look at some of the ongoing work: Read more “Snapshots of Data Science in Action”

Data. Although it is a short word, often dismissed as numbers or statistics, it follows us everywhere today. From the steps that we take, to our traffic patterns and driving speeds, to identifying our genomic sequence and even our daily purchasing habits. And more each day, governments, schools, and businesses are seeing the benefits of this information. Read more “Plotting the Future Through Data”

Global coupled atmosphere‐ocean models have not included the explicit simulation of ocean mesoscale eddies (turbulent ocean flow with a horizontal scale of less than 100 km) until the recent few years. As a result, current estimates of precipitation responses to greenhouse gases increase have predominantly relied on models in which ocean eddies have to be parameterized.

Dr. Ben Kirtman, program director of CCS’s Climate & Environmental Hazards focus area, and professor of atmospheric science at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), has been appointed director of CIMAS, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration‘s (NOAA) Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies. Based at RSMAS, CIMAS brings together the research and educational resources of ten partner universities to increase scientific understanding of Earth’s oceans and atmosphere within the context of NOAA’s mission. Dr. Kirtman will replace UM research professor Peter Ortner, who is stepping down. Read more “Ben Kirtman appointed Director of CIMAS”

Computational Science is widely recognized as a critical means to solving many of today’s most challenging problems. While computer science studies the different components of computers and computer programming, computational science builds the interface of computing within the scientific discipline—the art of computers designed with enough infrastructure to support the science and advancement of science.

UM Provost Thomas J. LeBlanc looked out at the gathering of scientists, researchers, students, and government officials and told them the issues of climate change and sustainability “are first and foremost on everyone’s mind” at the University of Miami. So it was appropriate that on Friday, November 13, 2015, the University’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) co-hosted a conference on climate change with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the international Geneva-based organization created by the United Nations to educate the world about climate change and its impact.
