Summer Institute 2010: August 9-13 at SDSC, San Diego, California

Registration is now closed.

GEON will hold a week-long Cyberinfrastructure Summer Institute for Geoscientists (CSIG) from August 9-13, 2010 at the University of California, San Diego.  This year’s program featured two tracks:

1. Overview of the technologies utilized to develop earth science cyberinfrastructure.
2. Utilization of cyberinfrastructure-based data systems and tools in geoscience education and research.

Forty-two participants took part in the 2009 CSIG representing academia, private industry, and several agencies.  As in the past, students travelled from beyond the U.S. to attend this Institute, from countries such as Mexico, Ireland, and New Zealand.  Based on the faculty and participant feedback, both the CSIG and the two track format that were instituted in 2009 were a big success, and it is anticipated that our 2010 program will offer similar options.

The CSIG is made possible through funding provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
