Mike Barnsley Centre for Climate Research
A welcome distraction from the normal stuff today, as I picked up from the press releases that the Mike Barnsley Centre for Climate Research is now officially open for business. Not only that, but Swansea have used their partnership with IBM to stick a new Blue Ice cluster in the research centre for number crunching and visualization work. It’s also apparent that Prof. Tavi Murray has taken up the role of Director of Research for the Centre - which is also really good news.
I wish the Swansea folk every success in making the very best out of the centre that they can. It’s a fitting tribute to Mike’s individual passion for the environment and science, and I’m pretty sure he’d have loved having a cluster to play with.
