Environmental scientists studying the world's shrinking polar ice sheets will soon get a substantial boost in computing power thanks to IU's Polar Grid Project. Funded by a $1.96 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Indiana University and Polar Grid partners Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) and the NSF's Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS), headquartered at the University of Kansas, are poised this week to deploy a collection of customized computational resources to Antarctica that will allow scientists -- both on site and remotely -- to more securely and efficiently process data during polar field expeditions.

Both Google and Microsoft representatives are coming to IU Bloomington in September to bring the message of their educational offerings to students. Earlier this year Indiana University partnered with both Google and Microsoft to provide a choice for students and alumni on all IU campuses for enhanced email and collaboration services. As part of the partnership, IU recently launched Imail (powered by Microsoft) and Umail (powered by Google).
