SUMMARY:Green Algorithms\, Green DiSC and GREENER principles: making compu
 tational science more environmentally sustainable - Loïc Lannelongue\, Un
 iversity of Cambridge
DTSTART:20260316T143000Z

UID:TALK243658@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Isaac Parker
DESCRIPTION:From genetic studies and astrophysics simulations to AI\, scie
 ntific computing has enabled amazing discoveries and there is no doubt it 
 will continue to do so. At the same time\, the resource usage (energy\, wa
 ter) and environmental impacts of digital research infrastructures become 
 hard to ignore in light of the urgency of the climate crisis. So what can 
 we all do about it? Tackling this issue and making it easier for scientist
 s to engage with sustainable computing is what motivated the Green Algorit
 hms project. We will break down how computing activities impact the enviro
 nment\, discuss how to estimate the impact of our work\, and what to do ab
 out it. Through the prism of the GREENER principles for environmentally su
 stainable science\, we will discuss what are the challenges the research c
 ommunity needs to overcome to affect real change in this space. It will al
 so be a chance to highlight how the Green DiSC certification framework can
  support scientists and institutions in making their research more sustain
 able.
