This summer, 16 students from UT and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico will participate in an exchange program to study and develop computation techniques that will help scientists collect and analyze geoscience data.

According to Jorge Pinon, program manager for the Jackson School of Geosciences, as the need for energy reform becomes more urgent amid the revelations about the modern environmental concerns of climate change, collaboration efforts such as the summer program aim to nurture a new generation of geoscientists that may solve the problems that perplex the brightest minds of the present.
