Geoscience Hackathon 2024

The Jackson School of Geosciences invites students to participate in the first Geoscience Hackathon.  The hackathon, organized with the UT Open-Souce Program Office (OSPO) support, will take place on October 4-6 at the Perry Castañeda Library.

Hackathons help develop software programming skills, boost creativity, promote collaboration and networking, and provide opportunities to contribute to open-source projects.

The topic of the 2024 hackathon is computational reproducibility. “Geoscience Papers of the Future” (GPF) refer to publications that include links to and descriptions of datasets, software, and workflows used to generate computational results. Hackathon participants will work in teams under the guidance of mentors to translate previously published historically significant papers into the GPF format. A panel of judges will evaluate the team projects and award prizes.

Interested students can register for the hackathon by filling out the registration form. Both undergraduate and graduate students are welcome. Some software programming experience is required. Because of the limited space, preference will be given to students who register early.

The registration deadline is September 6.
