March, 2014: Sewall interviewed on the connection between changes in Arctic sea ice and drought in the American West.
February, 2014: Arctic sea ice research from 2004 and 2005 highlighted in the New York Times .
November 2013: Sewall awarded $15,000.00 to design metrics that will support wildlife managers in decision making Our collaborative grant proposal with the Conservation Management Institute at Virginia Tech to develop metrics that will allow classification of conservation lands based on the potential for climate and development impacts was funded by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
June 30, 2013: Arctic sea ice research from 2004 and 2005 highlighted. Two papers from 2004 and 2005 on the potential climate impacts of declining Arctic sea ice were highlighted on Climate Progress.
April 22, 2011: Clementz and Sewall published in Science. Our paper using fossil sirenian teeth and climate simulations to investigate the Eocene hydrologic cycle and seawater conditions was published in the April 22, 2011 issue of Science.
June 2010: HPC Cluster Expanded. In support of our Virginia Climate Change Modeling and Climate Change Vulnerability project, the HPC cluster was expanded with three new 8 core compute nodes and an additional 26 TB of attached disk storage. Advanced Clustering Technologies completed the install on June 24 and we are up and running.
March 2010: Sewall awarded $74,455.00 to study Virginia Climate Change Our collaborative grant proposal with the Conservation Management Institute at Virginia Tech to investigate future Viriginia climate change and potential wildlife vulnerability to that change was funded by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries through a State Wildlife Grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and funds provided by the National Wildlife Federation through a generous grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
January 2010: New HPC Cluster Installed. The new cluster from Advanced Clustering Technologies was delivered in January and is now up and running here at Kutztown. The cluster is built from Intel Quad Core Xeon processors and has an 8 core head node with 8 TB of attached storage and six 8 core compute nodes with 24 GB of memory per node.
