The Stanford School of Earth Sciences recognizes the need and takes seriously its responsibility to share our understanding of the Earth with the greater community. Consequently, we offer programs for K-12 students, their teachers, and the general public. See details
Mariana Karplus was selected to receive a three-year NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. She is one of the three people in the country to receive this Fellowship. Congratulations!
Sun Microsystems, Inc., has awarded the Stanford Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Science - CEES, as a Sun Center of Excellence (COE) for OpenSPARC. Moreover Stanford will join an elite cadre of universities in the U.S., which are now official OpenSPARC Technology Centers of Excellence.
The CEES COE aims to investigate the multi-core, multi-thread nature of the Niagara II and Victoria Falls architectures for petroleum related applications. The research will take a two-phase approach that addresses two disparate, computationally demanding applications: Seismic Imaging and Flow in Porous Media. The overall period for this investigation will be three years.
