![]() I would like to be a part of the new georeferencing, and I'm looking forward to helping the major transformation that la3d will undergo. Hunter Francoeur University of Southern California My main goal is to get a good feeling of what work in an IT position is like. I would like to get myself involved in at least one or two more large project before the end of the summer. It is GUI based and will aid the new earthquake program. In addition, I am investing much of my time towards a program for converting catalogues from various formats into our standard. I am working on creating a catalogue format specification standard that we will use for the new earthquake program. I hope to learn more about computers and information technology and more about earthquakes and more general earth science.ĭerek Desens University of Minnesota, Morris I will also be working on increasing SCEC's visualizations. This term I will be working with maps and in particular Generic Mapping Tools. In addition, I hope to learn more about what kind of research earth scientists are performing and what software tools they need to continue their research.Īnthony Carlton University of Southern California I hope to gain experience in software development, both from the coding perspective and the team environment. By the SCEC annual meeting in September, I hope to have the new software be fully functional, and include some features that LA3D didn't have. I plan to work on the development of LA3D, specifically its conversion to a visualization tool for earthquakes and faults in any part of the world. Scott Callaghan University of Southern California I hope to learn more about Earthquakes in general and the geographic and scientific nature of them, but also learn about Information Technology, scientific inquiry as well as research and analysis methodologies. I hope to be involved in the visualization systems of LA3D as well as be involved creating some more sophisticated Earthquake catalogues and using them to create better analyses modules. It's very easy to be in a Computer Science program and not know how it will be applicable in the real world if you haven't had any work or research experience (which I haven't).Īnmol Bhagchand University of Southern California I'm very excited to learn a lot about fields I know nothing about, or I feel like I've just started learning about (computer science). And I know so little about earth science. ![]() I know very little about graphics work in CS, so I am really excited to learn that too. I'd like experience with CS research so I know what research in the field can be like (which is going to be valuable because I have to write a thesis for my University's Honors College). I would like to be able to use my CS skills personally and also tote them with more confidence when applying for jobs. I hope to become more comfortable with programming and making computer science work for me outside of the classroom setting. I'll also be doing increasing amounts of work to help prepare LA3D for its next distribution particularly in the areas of animations and cataloging. I'm working on animations and cataloging, mostly in our global implementation of LA3D. I would also like to enhance my earth science knowledge as it is the field in science that I haven't been keeping up with for the past few years. I would like to learn about the methods used to collect data and also how data is interpreted. I would like to learn more about java, java3D, geo-referencing, earthquake representation, and JDBC. I would like to understand and be a part of developing the core functionality of the visualization software, that is, the navigation/gui front end, the data access back end, and the plug-in architecture.
