..."That which nourishes me also destroys me" seems an apt phrase in light of global climate change. It could refer either to the world or our way with it.
Megan, Nick and I created this blog with that in mind, to share our work in helping to predict and understand the evolutionary impacts of climate change.
We first became involved, through our professor Dr. Mindy Walker, as contributors to a distributed computing effort. The effort we're contributing to, www.climateprediction.net, takes an immense problem -- in this case, finding the set of most probable outcomes of a climate model, and divides that task among a number of volunteering "client" computers sufficient to solve it.
This is just one way in which all of us can help the scientific community understand our impact upon the Earth. We've provided links to valuable resources which can help you get informed and involved!

This is fascinating.
