PRIME - Pacific Rim Experiences for Undergraduat...
PRIME (Pacific Rim Undergraduate Experiences) is a unique program which provides undergraduates with full-time summer research experiences in internationally collaborative settings; they spend nine weeks in one of four Pacific Rim host cities: Osaka (Japan), Hsinchu (Taiwan), Beijing (China) and Melbourne (Australia). "We are immersing the students in both scientific research and a new culture because we are providing them with experiential training in both the conduct of research and in the i...

Mariachi - Mixed Apparatus for mixed investigati...
The Mixed Apparatus for Radar Investigation of Atmospheric Cosmic-Rays of High Ionization (MARIACHI) project is setting a new standard for authentic learning—enabling students to learn by doing. Under the direction of scientists, students are building, monitoring, and analyzing data from devices that detect ultra high-energy cosmic rays in the atmosphere. They are also learning how to connect those devices to a larger cyberinfrastructure so they and the scientific community can learn more abou...

"Blue Waters" Petascale supercomputer - National...
On August 8th, 2007 the National Science Board (NSB) approved a resolution authorizing the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund the acquisition and deployment of the world's most powerful "leadership-class" supercomputer. This "petascale" system is expected to be able to make arithmetic calculations at a sustained rate in excess of a sizzling 1,000-trillion operations per second (a "petaflop" per second) to help investigators solve some of the world's most challenging science and engineer...

GLEON
The Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network is a grassroots network of limnologists, information technology experts, and engineers who have a common goal of building a scalable, persistent network of lake ecology observatories. Data from these observatories will allow us to better understand key processes such as the effects of climate and landuse change on lake function, the role of episodic events such as typhoons in resetting lake dynamics, and carbon cycling within lakes. The observator...

HUBzero
HUBzero allows you to create dynamic web sites that connect a community in scientific research and educational activities. HUBzero sites combine powerful Web 2.0 concepts with a middleware that provides instant access to interactive simulation tools. These tools are not just Java applets, but real research codes that can access TeraGrid, the Open Science Grid, and other national Grid computing resources for extra cycles. HUBzero was created by researchers at Purdue University in conjunction wi...
