• 700 & Above Employee

• Short Term Appointment

  • Sep 2012 - Sep 2014

  Argonne, Il, USA Assisting the post-processing of HiRAM climate model simulations using the Swift parallel scripting language. Work also required management of large data sets (100’s of terabytes).

• Short Term Appointment

  • Aug 2008 - Aug 2008

  Argonne, Il Assisted in developing a software library for accessing Atmosphere Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program data for use with the “common component architecture” software environment for high-performance computing and NetCDF. This work focused on developing custom C and C++ software “components” for the CCA architecture and creating custom artificial data sets for testing the components.

  Argonne, IL Work in this position included several projects. The largest project during this period was a CRADA project that included ChevronTexaco, Inc., GRI/GTI, and the DOE. The goal of this project was to establish possible links between climate and sediment yield in order to better model sediment basins. Scientific efforts included developing new data analysis techniques in model/data comparisons, applying knowledge of paleoclimatology, paleogeography, and geology to the problems of long-term climate… Show more Work in this position included several projects. The largest project during this period was a CRADA project that included ChevronTexaco, Inc., GRI/GTI, and the DOE. The goal of this project was to establish possible links between climate and sediment yield in order to better model sediment basins. Scientific efforts included developing new data analysis techniques in model/data comparisons, applying knowledge of paleoclimatology, paleogeography, and geology to the problems of long-term climate change and sediment yield, writing new and unique software applications, and reporting results at scientific meetings. Additional responsibilities included a range of geology-related projects. For NASA, additional climate models were run and analyzed with new neural network techniques. This effort has produced results that provide a new way of looking at climate model results and how those results are interpreted, which will impact future climate model work. Carbon sequestration work entailed evaluating the proposed carbon mineralization approach to long-term storage of carbon in the Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey area. This work was presented at the 7th International Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies meeting, 2004. Additional related work included developing possible carbon dioxide pipeline routes in the Illinois Basin. Administrative duties included reporting to Department of Energy managers, managing project budgets, and maintaining project compliance with QA, safety, and other regulations Show less
