Congratulations to Team Cascadia (featuring CRESCENT-affiliated Dr. Alice-Agnes Gabriel) who've been awarded the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize in high-performance computing for their billion-parameter Cascadia Subduction Zone tsunami model using the world’s fastest supercomputer, El Capitan!
It still feels so unreal! Yesterday, we were awarded the "Nobel Prize" of Supercomputing, the ACM Gordon Bell Prize at #SC25 for our paper “Real-Time Bayesian Inference at Extreme Scale: A Digital Twin for Tsunami Early Warning Applied to the Cascadia Subduction Zone”: dl.acm.org/doi/full/10....

Today is World Tsunami Awareness Day.
If you are on the coast and feel shaking or get an earthquake early warning alert, you should #DropCoverHoldOn. Wait for shaking to stop. Then evacuate to high ground or inland. A tsunami may be coming!

It's International ShakeOut Day! Take a moment at 10:16 a.m. (local time) to practice your “Drop, Cover, and Hold On."
If you live in an earthquake-prone region, it isn’t a question of if, but when an earthquake will occur. Be sure to make a plan and be prepared!
