Paleoenvironments, Paleoecology, and Exceptional Preservation in Burgess Shale-type Deposits - Robert Gaines; Department of Geology, Pomona College: Cambrian Burgess Shale-type (BST) deposits occur worldwide and offer a remarkable window on the initial Phanerozoic radiation of the Metazoa. However, BST deposits also represent significant deviations from the constraints that govern the typical operation of the fossil record. These deviations remain to be adequately accounted for,...

This video describes our project experience on using EELA resources in conjunction with OurGrid resources to provide a better performance to SegHidro/BRAMS application. SegHidro enables, through a grid portal, collaborative work via the coupling of hydrometeorological computer models, providing access to massive grid-based computer resources such as data storage nodes and computing nodes. BRAMS is a Regional Atmospheric Modeling System that provides SegHidro users with weather forecasts to...
