The
devastating wildfires that scorched Southern California
this past week, burning 743,000 acres, causing more
than 20 deaths and destroying nearly 3,600 homes
should not be dismissed as a freak occurrence. Berkeley
Lab researchers Margaret Torn and
Evan Mills, along with Jeremy Fried
of the U.S. Forest Service, have been analyzing
the potential effect of global climate change on
wildfires in Northern California and the outlook
is grim. Their latest report will be published in
the journal Climatic Change but an advanced
copy can be read here.

Golove
Recognized for USPS Energy Plan
William
Golove of the Environmental Energy Technologies
Division has won a 2003 Presidential Award for
Leadership in Energy Management. Golove was part
of a team that developed the U.S. Postal Service
(USPS) Pacific Area’s Strategic Energy Management
Plan (SEMP). The award honors Federal employees
for their leadership in promoting and improving
Federal energy management. Over the next few years,
it is expected that the plan will save the USPS
millions of dollars in energy costs, and reduce
electricity use and the Service’s environmental
impact.
Visualization
Team Gets
Conference Award

Max and Bernd Hamann of UC Davis, received the
"Best Application Award" at the Vis
2003 conference held recently in Seattle. The
group won for their paper on ProteinShop, an interactive
visualization tool for protein structure prediction
and modeling. Go here

In
a story broadcast on CNN this past weekend, Lab
researcher Susan Hubbard discussed
the radar technology she and her Earth Sciences
Division colleague Yoram Rubin
developed to monitor the water content of grape-growing
soil in Napa Valley. Go here

The
carbon nanotubes of Berkeley Lab's Alex
Zettl and a simple, inexpensive process
to fabricate high-quality nanotubes are among
the technologies featured in the premier issue
of Nanotech Briefs, a New York-based
bimonthly. It is billed as the first small-tech
publication that focuses on biotechnology. It
will feature the best of government and industry
innovations in the field and the commercial market.
The first issue can be viewed as a PDF file here
(Lab stories on pages 10 and 19).
