Tsunamis, Landslides and Asteroid Impacts: GeoClaw Models Deadly Flows
Read More
The open-source modeling platform GeoClaw enables scientists to predict and prepare for deadly natural disasters by simulating complex geophysical flows.
Applied and computational mathematics play a critical role in many aspects of modern science and engineering, with new opportunities for discovery in virtually every discipline. CCM will focus on developing new tools and software libraries that bring large-scale modeling, simulation and data analysis within practical reach.
