So I only just now heard about this project through your League of Ordinary Gentlemen post.   Presumably you're all booked now with scientists, but let me at least offer my name in case you find yourself needing another.  My background is in astrophysics, fluid mechanics, and large-scale computing; http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~ljdursi .  I'm a Senior Research Associate at the Canadian Inst. for Theoretical Astrophysics, and a Computational Scientist at the SciNet HPC centre, both in Toronto.

I think projects like yours are incredibly important, and want to help any way I can.
