Environmental scientists studying the world's shrinking polar ice sheets will soon get a substantial boost in computing power thanks to IU's Polar Grid Project. Funded by a $1.96 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Indiana University and Polar Grid partners Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) and the NSF's Centre for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS), are poised this week to deploy a collection of customised computational resources to Antarctica that will allow scientists - both on site and remotely - to more securely and efficiently process data during polar field expeditions...
