The Recycling and Solid Waste Unit of Facilities Management will be placing triple-sort waste stations on McKeldin Mall during Maryland Day on Saturday, April 29th. Volunteers are needed to help campus visitors properly sort their waste into compost, recycle, and landfill to ensure that the waste collected in these bins is not contaminated with inappropriate items. In order to accomplish this, volunteers will engage in a dialog with the campus visitors to educate them as to which items can be composted, recycled, or trashed on campus. All volunteers will be provided with gloves and MD Day t-shirts. Community service hours can be provided.
Explore climate change from a global perspective! Join us for an inspiring showcase of short films from Brazil, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Switzerland, hear from our faculty members and engage in thought-provoking discussions on the topic. See how people from around the world are tackling this critical issue in their own unique ways.

This conference is an amazing opportunity to participate in engaging sessions curated to spark discussion, learning, and innovation surrounding trending Environmental, Social, and Governance topics. Event Location: On Campus Van Munching Hall 11/21/2022 Seminar: Big Data Assimilation Revolutionizing Numerical Weather Prediction Using Fugaku Thu. Dec 01, 2022 3:30 PMRead Now Abstract:
At RIKEN, we have been exploring a fusion of big data and big computation in numerical weather prediction (NWP), and now with AI and machine learning (ML). Our group in RIKEN has been pushing the limits of NWP through two orders of magnitude bigger computations using the previous Japan’s flagship “K computer”. The efforts include 100-m mesh, 30-second update “Big Data Assimilation” (BDA) fully exploiting the big data from a novel Phased Array Weather Radar. With the new Fugaku, we achieved a real-time BDA application to predict sudden downpours up to 30 minutes in advance during Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. Moreover, Fugaku is designed to be efficient for both double-precision big simulations and reduced-precision ML applications, aiming to play a pivotal role in creating super-smart “Society 5.0.” We have been exploring ideas for improving the predicting capabilities by fusing BDA and AI. The data produced by NWP models become bigger and moving the data to other computers for ML or even simply saving them may not be feasible. A next-generation computer like Fugaku may bring a breakthrough toward creating a new methodology of fusing data-driven (inductive) and process-driven (deductive) approaches in meteorology. This presentation will introduce the most recent results from BDA experiments, followed by perspectives toward DA-AI fusion and expanding new applications beyond meteorology.
