Lots of travel this month!

Cayelan has just returned from giving an invited talk at the University of Michigan’s symposium on “Humans as a force of ecological and evolutionary change” in Ann Arbor and left right after to give a talk with GLEON colleagues at the PRAGMA (Pacific Rim Applications and Grid Middleware Assembly) computer science conference in Tainan, Taiwan.  As part of a very interdisciplinary collaboration, Cayelan is working with Renato Figueiredo (U-Florida), Paul Hanson, Luke Winslow, and Craig Snortheim (UW-Madison) to use virtual overlay networks to improve lake numerical simulation modeling and is learning a lot about distributed computing!

We are getting ready for a very ambitious field season this spring/summer and will post more updates as we get started!
