Research @ WashU with Randall Martin

Background: Characterizing air quality from global to local scales by gathering satellite remote sensing or other observational data and applying the GEOS-Chem model to simulate the atmosphere, interpret those observations, and understand processes that enable prediction.  Relevance: Driven strongly by the effects of air quality on human health.  Objective: To understand the traditional sources and processes that […]

Storage1 to Storage3 Migrations

As hardware components of Storage1 near the end of life, RIS will begin migrating allocations from Storage1 to Storage3 over the next three years. Allocations on the oldest hardware components (filesystem1) will begin in April 2026. Impacted users will receive additional communications prior to their cutover date as batch lists are scheduled. 💪🏻Benefits of Storage3: ✅ […]
