This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems Project Grant award (CFDA 47.070) for $207,394 supports collaborative research between Washington University and researchers from MIT to improve the performance of the GEOS-Chem 3D atmospheric simulation software. The goal is to speed up the complex GEOS-Chem model, which simulates the evolution of the Earth's atmospheric chemical composition and is an essential tool for understanding climate change. The researchers aim to develop novel techniques to efficiently distribute the computational workload across cloud-based processors to minimize simulation time. Completing this research will significantly enhance the ability to explore and address climate change through rapid atmospheric modeling. The project involves a postdoctoral researcher and is expected to produce open-source software contributions that will be integrated into the main GEOS-Chem codebase.
