Data Storage Hardware put to work for Haiti
Corral, a huge data storage system at the Texas Advanced Computing Center in North Austin was put to work to manage imagery data for a team at UT doing assessment for the Haiti earthquake.
It was a team effort: Gordon Wells, who ran the impromptu project tapped Paul Mann at UT’s Institute of Geophysics and his colleague, Eric Calais of Purdue University, who had done a field study in 2008. That data was used to correct satellite imagery and produce accurate damage-assessment maps which appeared on federal websites.
Wells wrote an article for EOM when I was editor; it’s really nice to see these names popping up and still doing important work.
