The configuration was constructed as part of the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean Phase II, or ECCO2 project. It was run by project partners Gunnar Spreen and Dimitris Menemenlis at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on NASA's supercomputer &quot;Pleiades&quot; at the Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. Tim Sandstrom at NASA's Advanced Supercomputing Division performed the visualization of the simulations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Image Credits:&lt;br /&gt;Earth System Research Laboratory, NOAA, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/projects/arcpac/&quot;&gt;http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/projects/arcpac/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;European Space Agency (ESA) CryoSat Mission, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cryosat/&quot;&gt;http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cryosat/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) Earth Observatory, &lt;a href=&quot;http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/&quot;&gt;http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA/GSFC), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/sets/&quot;&gt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/sets/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), &lt;a href=&quot;http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/&quot;&gt;http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alfred-Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.awi.de/&quot;&gt;http://www.awi.de/&lt;/a&gt;]]></description>

                         	<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Arctic Ocean halocline, a layer of high vertical salinity gradient and near-freezing temperature, insulates the surface sea-ice from heat stored in Atlantic water with a significant impact on sea-ice growth and melt. An understanding of its role in the general circulation is therefore of great value to an understanding of ocean - sea-ice coupling in the region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this video interview, polar researcher &lt;a href=&quot;http://eaps-www.mit.edu/paoc/people/t-nguyen&quot;&gt;An Nguyen&lt;/a&gt; presents the results of a recently published ocean and sea-ice modeling study of the Chukchi Sea she co-authored with researchers at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/&quot;&gt;JPL&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

At depths of a few hundred meters down in the ocean, the amount of solar radiation decays to around a millionth of the surface intensity so that photosynthesizing organisms, at such depths only receive 10-4 Wm-2 of radiation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MGHPCC seed fund awardees &lt;a href=&quot;http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu/about-alan/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Al&amp;#225;n Aspuru-Guzik&lt;/a&gt; (Quantum Chemistry, Harvard) and &lt;a href=&quot;http://dmse.mit.edu/faculty/profile/alexander-katz&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alfredo Alexander-Katz&lt;/a&gt; (Materials Science, MIT) are studying the properties of a photosynthetic bacteria (&lt;em&gt;Chlorobium Tepidum&lt;/em&gt;, also known as Green sulphur bacteria) that manages to survive in this low energy environment. Their work seeks to understand the interplay between biomolecular structure and efficient light harvesting on the quantum scale and how this could lead to radical new approaches to energy generation.

        &lt;p&gt;David McGee is a paleoclimatologist whose work focuses on reconstructing past changes in extra tropical atmospheric circulation and hydrology. He has explored this area through studies of dust blown out of the world's drylands and deposited in the ocean; changes in dryland water balance as reflected in closed-basin lakes; and studies of precipitation source and amount recorded in stalagmites. These studies involve a variety of types of data, but at the center of all of them are uranium-series isotopes, which are used for dating in terrestrial deposits and determination of accumulation rates in marine sediments. David joins the PAOC faculty as an assistant professor in January 2012. He comes to MIT from a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Minnesota, where he held a joint appointment at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.&lt;/p&gt;

Description: &lt;b&gt;&quot;The Multidisciplinary Forest of MIT: From Twigs to Canopy&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

MIT's 19th century founders stunningly anticipated the 20th century convergence of science and technology,&lt;b&gt; Rosalind Williams&lt;/b&gt; notes, with their emphasis on knowledge of both natural laws and applied engineering. The connection between the two different disciplines, says Williams, was &quot;something new in history.&quot; Scientific understanding had previously been &quot;aristocratic, elitist, intellectual, and 'speculative.&quot; Technology had been &quot;more lower class, empirical and action-oriented.&quot; MIT's approach was to meld engineering with pure science, and then, after World War 2, to broaden engineering by connecting with the social sciences. Today, MIT has become a &quot;pioneer in deep 'multidisciplinarity',&quot; says Williams, enabled to address key human problems involving science, technology and society.


&lt;b&gt;&quot;Marine Microbes: Tiny Cells, Global Impact&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

Please don't confuse &lt;b&gt;Penny Chisholm's&lt;/b&gt; beloved Prochlorococcus, (a marine microbe) with your run of the mill bacterium, or worse, with some dreaded pathogen. This species of phytoplankton, discovered in 1985, turns out to be a biological superstar. As Chisholm says, &quot;My organism is extremely important.&quot; Prochlorococcus, existing in abundance in much of the world's oceans, is a remarkable biological pump. It and fellow phytoplankton suck up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and engage in &quot;almost as much photosynthesis as trees and plants on land,&quot; says Chisholm. We must begin to look at the sea &quot;as teaming with information,&quot; remarks Chisholm, with microbes &quot;shaping the composition of the atmosphere, seawater and habitability of the earth itself.&quot;

&lt;b&gt;&quot;Tiny Crystals: The Path From Science to Technology&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

Trial and error played a large role in the evolution of&lt;b&gt; Moungi Bawendi's&lt;/b&gt; field, which emerged from research in different disciplines: the search for solar energy during the energy crisis of the 1970s; making smaller semiconductors; constructing lasers for products like CD players. Physical chemists, manipulating tiny particles in different solutions, saw them grow &quot;like snowflakes&quot; into different shapes, says Bawendi. Some of these particles emitted different colors of light. Researchers developed fluorescent microspheres, particles made out of silica, that emit specific colors. Today these tiny balls can be used to image blood flow to detect leaks in tumor walls. Apply a current and the balls go in different directions. &quot;These are the kinds of discoveries that grad students stumble on if they work late at night,&quot; says Bawendi. Nanocrystal quantum dot lasers make &quot;beautiful colors for computers,&quot; and biologists can use these quantum dots for color coding DNA chains in gene assays and possibly for biomedical imaging in living organisms.


&lt;b&gt;&quot;Big Iron to Little Silicon&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

After a poetic tribute to his colleagues, &lt;b&gt;Alex Slocum&lt;/b&gt; performs what he calls &quot;a high speed download.&quot; He speaks of the different paths to invention, from sitting at a CAD station, to heading off for a mountain hike. He sketches the idea of a &quot;nanotube spinneret, analogous to a showerhead.&quot; Slocum's goal &quot;is to wear the first Hawaiian shirt made from nanotubes.&quot; Slocum's work is living proof of his motto: &quot;Science doesn't have to be boring.&quot; He designs &quot;stuff from silicon wafers to bottles,&quot; to lighter wind turbines and nodes for pool noodles. Slocum views the design process as a way to have fun with math an approach he'd dearly like to promulgate. He's pursuing an educational system for grade schools that aims to teach &quot;systematic thinking and the scientific method&quot; using rhymes, bath songs and computer animations.
