Advanced Computing for Earth Sciences (ACES), sponsored by the
University of Virginia Advanced Research Computing Services (ARCS)
group, NASA, and U.Va.’s Department of Environmental Sciences, is an
exciting opportunity for students interested in computational modeling
for atmospheric, ocean, climate, geophysical, and other Earth sciences.
Students enrolled in the ACES program acquire hands-on application
computing experience as well as training in the essentials of software
engineering and high-performance computing.
A total of 20 students will be selected to attend the summer school on
grounds at the University of Virginia. They will then be placed in
8-week paid internship programs at various NASA research centers across
the country. Some previous programming experience is helpful but is not
required. Students with advanced computer science skills who are
interested in applications for Earth sciences are also encouraged to
apply. Those admitted to the summer school will be provided housing, two
meals per day during the work week, and a generous stipend for all other
meals. Travel expenses are covered for up to a maximum of $750 per
student. Only U.S. citizens are eligible to apply. We accept graduate
students and undergraduates who will be completing their third or fourth
years of study.
