“Hindcasting” 2013 Colorado Flood

Using NERSC supercomputers, Berkeley Lab researchers “hindcasted” the conditions that led to the Sept. 2013 flooding around Boulder, CO and found that climate change attributed to human activity made the storm much more severe than would otherwise have occurred. » Read More
