The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is
offering two paid summer research internships in 2012:
Undergraduate Studies in Earthquake Information
Technology (UseIT) is an 8-week team-based undergraduate research program that allows
students to work in multi-disciplinary collaborative teams to tackle a
scientific "Grand Challenge" where they use the advanced tools of information
technology to solve important problems in interdisciplinary earthquake research. During
the 2011 internship the focus of the program was to develop a Seismic
Sequence Visualization System based on SCEC-VDO and GIS that can display earthquake
sequences, monitor their evolution in space and time, and assess their hazards and
risks. SCEC-VDO is the SCEC intern-developed visualization software that allows
the user to see earthquake related phenomena in three dimensions.
The SCEC Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE)
is an 8-10 week program that pairs a student, one-on-one, to conduct research
with a pre-eminent earthquake scientist or specialist. Many SURE interns
also have the opportunity to work alongside graduate students and post-doctoral
researchers, and thus gain the special perspective of these early career
professionals.
Priority application deadline for both programs is: 27
February 2012
