Computational Challenges in the Environmental Sciences 14th July 2008 at the Cockcroft Institute, Daresbury Campus (Organiser: Dr Mike Ashworth) Workshop Description The workshop will take place on Monday 14th July in the Walton Room, which is located in the Cockcroft Institute on the Daresbury Campus. Directions to the Cockcroft Institute can be found here... Objectives of the Workshop: ~ to explore key scientific challenges in environmental science which should be tackled by Petascale or near-Petascale computational resources; ~ to explore the computational challenges in running large-scale environmental applications on such systems; ~ to introduce the Hartree Centre; ~ to define a set of key themes and projects for the HC science case.
