Making waves
Sandia's water power technology group will provide critical expertise in computational modelling to companies on the forefront of the emerging marine hydrokinetics industry, thanks to a $10.5 million dollar award from DOE.
Ice sheet modeling of Greenland, Antarctica helps predict sea-level rise
A team of Sandia researchers has been improving computational models that describe ice sheet behavior and dynamics. The research is part of a five-year project called Predicting Ice Sheet and Climate Evolution at Extreme Scales.
Decon, bombs, and above and beyond
Sandia won the national Federal Laboratory Consortium’s (FLC) 2016 Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer for a decontamination product that neutralizes chemical and biological agents and for software that helps emergency responders more effectively disable improvised explosive devices (IEDs). And business development specialist Bianca Thayer (8549) was named Outstanding Technology Transfer Professional of 2016.

Headlights of a laboratory
Laboratory Directed Research & Development (LDRD) was established in 1990 by Congress to let scientists at national laboratories do creative, innovative, independent research.
ANGLEing toward success
Advancing the Next Generation of Leadership Excellence (ANGLE), a Sandia affinity group, is here to help employees — new and established — connect and excel. ANGLE began in 2007 as the Sandia chapter of North American Young Generation in Nuclear, but has grown from a nuclear engineering-focused early career group to one that serves all Sandians.
