Developing a sustainable society requires an all-hands-on-deck effort, one in which computer science and information technology have an important role to play.
Today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced $12.5 million in grants to 16 projects spanning 15 states through the Cyber-Innovation for Sustainability Science and Engineering (CyberSEES) program. The awards aim to advance the science of sustainability in tandem with advances in computing and communication technologies.
The two-to-four-year grants, ranging from $100,000 to $1.2 million, bring together teams of researchers from computer science and other disciplines to develop new tools, technologies and models that advance sustainability science.
"Computing plays a central role in understanding and promoting sustainability science in a range of areas from climate models to managing watersheds. At the same time, work on these problems can fuel advances in computing, for example, in optimization, modeling, simulation, prediction, decision-making and inference," said Suzi Iacono, acting assistant director for Computer & Information Science & Engineering at NSF.
