A Multidisciplinary Graduate Program in Computational Geoscience

The increasing role that accurate and efficient modeling tools will continue to play in scientific disciplines will result in more young professionals aspiring to develop technical expertise in high-performance computing. Unfortunately, both nationally, and worldwide, there is a fundamental lack of graduate-level programs focused on the integration of computation and the geosciences. Through the development of a graduate level program at Stanford University in Computational Geoscience (CompGeo), the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Engineering(ICME) and the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences (SES) are hoping to take a leadership role in shaping the next generation of computational-based educational programs.
