 APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation - ACES is a multi-lateral grand challenge science research cooperation of APEC (the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation). The project is sponsored by Australia,
China, Japan and USA and involves leading international earthquake simulation and prediction research groups.
ACES aims to develop realistic supercomputer simulation models for the complete earthquake generation process, thus providing a "virtual laboratory" to probe
earthquake behavior.

Cold Region Research and Engineering Laboratory - The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CRREL) is a unique facility of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that addresses the problems and opportunities unique
to the world's cold regions. The mission of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory is to gain knowledge of cold regions through
scientific and engineering research -- and put that knowledge to work for the Corps of Engineers, the Army, the
Department of Defense, and the nation. CRREL is the DoD's only laboratory that addresses the problems and
opportunities unique to the world's cold regions.
