[Geoldept] Fw: [earthscope-general] Learning Opportunity: Seismology Skill Building Workshop 2023

[Jackie Caplan-Auerbach]

Hi all,

Undergraduates, please see below for information about this year's Seismology Skills Building Workshop. This is a free, self-led summer program that provides students with skills in computer science, geophysics, and seismology, and sets them up nicely for continued or advanced study. It's a great jump-start into these disciplines, and I strongly recommend taking a look!

aloha,
Jackie

Faculty, please announce this FREE summer opportunity to your students!

The SAGE Facility operated by EarthScope, will offer a FREE online workshop for undergraduate students (e.g.... computer science, geophysics, geology, earth science, math, physics, engineering, etc.) that want to develop scientific computing skills while exploring the field of seismology (plus a bonus geodesy module!). The workshop is also open to graduate students and anyone else who wants to develop scientific computing skills within a seismological context (while graduate students are admitted, they should recognize that this is an introductory workshop).

The goals for the workshop are to increase participants'...
• Knowledge, skills, and interest in seismology and scientific computing (e.g. Linux, GMT, SAC, Python/Obspy, Jupyter Notebooks),
• Self-efficacy in using seismic data, and
• Competitiveness in the application process for graduate school, summer internships, or professional jobs.

Based on previous workshops, participants should expect to invest approximately 5-6 hours per week including participating in the weekly webinar (or watching the recording). At the end of the workshop participants will receive a performance report/certificate to include in their professional portfolio.

Registration Closes on May 15, 2023

What past participants are saying…
"First, it is free. Second, participants can learn basic to intermediate level seismology and computing skills. Third, the workshop is interactive (with the learning material and other students)”

"Because the workshop was so well developed, the activities were interesting and well guided. The professors were always very helpful and the communication was always good. Thanks!”

"I loved how flexible the workshop was. I was able to work and complete another class online while completing it and I didn't feel like I had to set aside a lot of time for it. It was set up really well and I found it extremely helpful and interesting.”

"The workshop is just the perfect way to look into the field of seismology and learn skills without a ton of class time or money."

Best Wishes,
Michael
