Get Your Cybersecurity Program Up and Running with the Trusted CI Framework

Learn about the Trusted CI Framework, developed by the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence and created to help your scientific research facility overcome the obstacles to standing up a cybersecurity program for its cyberinfrastructure.

Getting the Grant: Federal Agencies Share Success Stories for Connected Community Proposals

Two federal agencies, the National Science Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, recognize that robust broadband is essential to discovering and disseminating knowledge. Both organizations offer grant funding to advance broadband services and create connected communities. Hear about successful projects and upcoming grant opportunities.

Fiber-Optic Cables Provide New Tool as Early Earthquake Sensors

Fiber-optic cables, like those in CENIC’s CalREN network and used for internet services everywhere, might eventually serve dual purposes — used not only to transmit data, but also to provide earthquake measurements, and maybe even safety alerts.

Identifying Tiny Organisms with Giant Impact on Climate

Advances in automated plankton identification will benefit the fields of both computer science and biological science, enabling improved classification algorithms for machine learning and vast new data streams for plankton ecology. With success, the ability to rapidly and automatically find patterns in plankton ecology could drastically speed up observations of climate change challenges and solutions.

Leading the Charge on Science DMZs to Support Big-Data Research

Scientists working in fields such as genomics, climate science, and galaxy exploration accumulate huge data sets that require high-performance computer networking. Science DMZs and the Pacific Research Platform enable researchers to collaborate securely on these data sets from far-flung locations. Learn how UC Santa Cruz developed its cyberinfrastructure.
