Applications open for free Earth science summer research program
Calling all those interested in environmental science! The Earth and Planetary Sciences department is hosting a free, week-long program that will introduce participants to Earth science data analysis and careers in a fun, inclusive, collaborative environment.
The ESCAPE: Earth Sciences Computing and Programming Experience is in its fourth year at The University of New Mexico. Students will learn about field collection of spatial data, the use of Python programming for Earth science data analysis and visualization and how to plan a career in Earth and environmental science.
Earth & Planetary Sciences Assistant Professor Eric Lindsey, one of the organizers of the program, says the workshop would specifically benefit students who are interested in pursuing graduate studies in Earth or environmental sciences. “Our hope is that this can help students who might never have seen themselves going into that type of advanced study to build the confidence and background skills needed to be successful,” Lindsey said.
The program will run from Aug. 4 through 8 at Northrop Hall. Any undergraduate student is welcome to apply. The department will provide lunch for the week, a local field trip and opportunities to engage in and learn about undergraduate research with UNM professors. Last year’s course materials can be found online.
“I learned so much from this department from Python, field work and the process of graduate school,” said Ariana Magana-Ramirez, a student who participated in a previous year’s ESCAPE program. “I just wanted to express my gratitude once again for letting me be a part of this amazing program!”
The deadline to apply is June 15. For additional information contact Eric Lindsey at eol@unm.edu or the EPS department front office at 505-277-4204.
