Physics-guided machine-learning models will improve subsurface imaging

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory is applying machine-learning algorithms to subsurface imaging that will impact a variety of applications, including energy exploration, carbon capture and sequestration and estimating pathways of subsurface contaminant transport, according to new research published in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.

Understanding plants can boost wildland-fire modeling in uncertain future

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new conceptual framework for incorporating the way plants use carbon and water, or plant dynamics, into fine-scale computer models of wildland fire provides a critical first step toward improved global fire forecasting.

Sandia, AMD collaborate to improve stockpile mission

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Grant and Award Announcement

Sandia National Laboratories, in partnership with Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore national labs, has awarded a contract to AMD that funds research and development of advanced memory technologies expected to accelerate high-performance simulation and computing applications in support of the nation’s stockpile stewardship mission.

What’s driving re-burns across California and the West?

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Seasonal temperature, moisture loss from plants and wind speed are what primarily drive fires that sweep across the same landscape multiple times, a new study reveals. These findings and others could help land managers plan more effective treatments in areas susceptible to fire, particularly in the fire-ravaged wildland-urban interfaces of California.
