Abstract

This collaborative project, created by NEMAC at UNC-Asheville, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College (AB Tech), and the University of North Carolina- Charlotte (UNC-Charlotte), was awarded $600,000 over 2 years.

The mission is to advance the state-of-the-art of digital data base manipulation, modeling, and scientific visualization and to increase regional knowledge-based training and educational programs. The focus is on environmental data modeling using geographical information systems, scientific visualization, and database management systems. The project will develop a real-time numerical weather prediction model for the region, increase high-speed channels of communication between the partners and the Education and Research Consortium of Western Carolina (ERCWC), and enhance undergraduate and graduate research in modeling and visualization of atmospheric data. In addition two-year degree curricula in computer programming, information systems, and digital media will be developed.
