Enabling better organ exchange programs

Thanks to XSEDE, the number of donor/recipient pairs could expand, broadening the criteria for matches so more hard-to-match patients would be able to find donors. This work is also showing that a combined kidney and liver exchange could find more matches than separate exchanges. Read more

Unraveling the mysteries of sudden firestorms

With the help of XSEDE, preliminary evaluations of a combination fire'96atmosphere computer model, or approximation of real-world scenarios and conditions, could lead to the ability to accurately forecast sudden fire escalations that result from interactions between a wildfire and the atmosphere.

Forecasting future flooding

Coastal flooding in the Pacific Northwest comes primarily from large waves generated by major storms instead of hurricanes. Models of the factors that affect flooding'97created using XSEDE'97show levels of inundation will vary greatly in the region and highlight the need to reconsider flood maps that Oregon city planners use for development.
