Damian Rouson: Head of the CLaSS
Meet Damian Rouson, head of CRD’s Computer Languages & Systems Software (CLaSS) group. Although his career at the Lab is only about a month old, Rouson’s history with Berkeley Lab goes back nearly 20 years. In fact, he credits interactions at Berkeley Lab for inspiring him to write a popular programming book and start a successful consulting business. Read More »
CIGAR 'Smokes Out' Attacks on Solar Electrical Power Equipment
While the need for security in the power grid is clear, cybersecurity has typically been “bolted on” in a piecemeal fashion after the fact, rather than designed in from the outset. Enter the Cybersecurity via Inverter-Grid Automatic Reconfiguration (CIGAR) project, a recently completed Berkeley Lab effort aimed at providing security protections for emerging power systems.

Limit global warming to 1.5°C and halve the land ice contribution to sea level this century
A new study predicts that sea-level rise could be halved this century (from today to 2100) if we meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. This work combines nearly 900 simulations, including some of Berkeley Lab Computational Scientist Dan Martin's BISICLES models of Antarctic ice sheets. Read More »
