 | Technologies and applications of interactive flood simulatio Google Tech Talks May 15, 2008 ABSTRACT Severe flood disasters may frequently occur in near future because global warming will change the flood risk. To prepare the disaster, we propose global flood simulation software which simulates flood flow in short time on an earth viewer (i.e., global geographical information system). User can edit a flood scenario such as the location of levee failure by clicking on the earth viewer, then the software simulate the flood flow based on fluid dynamics. The simulation and GIS communicate each other using our technology, the flood information are visualized on the viewer even during the simulation. I will make a presentation about the technology and show how to work our flood simulation software. Speaker: Satoshi Yamaguchi I specialize in the geophysics, hydrodynamics and software development such as geographical information system (GIS). I conduct a research on flood disaster and develop flood simulation software on our original GIS for a number of years in Hitachi Central Research Laboratory. I studied physical oceanography in Tohoku University and received masters degree. |
 | Perspectives on Ocean Science: Marine Science The largest of the 30 National Sea Grant programs, California Sea Grant draws on the talents of scientists and engineers at public and private universities throughout the state. Join Dr. Russ Moll as he describes how the program contributes to the growing body of knowledge about coastal and marine resources and helps solve contemporary marine-related problems.

 | Small World Ocean - Better Ocean Management Through Science The world's ocean is still the "undiscovered frontier" although a key component of the earth's eco and climate systems. Federal and state governments are investing in ocean observing systems, so that we may monitor and make well-informed decisions for coastal and marine resource management. This program focuses on real-time water quality monitoring in Humboldt Bay; real-time ocean current mapping across the continental shelf; and seasonal monitoring of the coastal ocean environment and its denizens. These monitoring programs are informing us of ocean conditions and variability, and local and large-scale environmental changes, which alter the way we view and manage our precious ocean and its resources. |
 | Toward the First Revolution in the Mind Sciences Google TechTalks August 8, 2006 B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D. has been a scholar and practitioner of Buddhism since 1970. He is currently seeking ways to integrate Buddhist contemplative practices and Western science to advance the study of the mind. He is the founder and president of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies ( http://sbinstitute.com ). ABSTRACT Galileo took a seminal role in launching the first revolution in the physical sciences, and a key element in this revolution was the rigorous, sophisticated observation of physical phenomena. Darwin likewise launched a revolution in the life sciences on the basis of decades of meticulous observation of biological phenomena. Although... |
