Earth System Sciences Astrophysics Materials Chemistry Seismology Life Sciences 88 M io core hours on M arenostrum (SP) for Spanish research 98 M io core hours on CURIE (FR) & 49 M io core hours on SuperM UC (DE) for Germany 10 M io core hours on CURIE( FR) for Finland 59,8 M io core hours on JUQUEEN (DE) for Switzerland 53.4 M io core hrs on SuperM UC (DE) for Italy 56 M io core hours on CURIE (FR) & 82 M io core hours on SuperM UC for France Develop new climate models for preparing the 6th IPCC campaign in relation with ENES. Understand the explosion of massive stars into supernovae and the origin of the heaviest of the chemical elements. Study using DFT simulations the effects of irradiation on Graphene nanostructures, especially vacancies and their coalescence into holes/defects. Catch CO 2 in a solvent before it is released into the air, making the exhausts from e.g. power plants significantly cleaner Explore the nonlinearity involved in the dependence of local ground shaking on geological structure. Understand how a nervous impulse is transported with neurons, and especially the function of the ion channels, to contribute to the design of drugs that will modulate their activity. This allocation is 30 times larger than a typical allocation. 18
