A facility for massively parallel computing, the CCoG offers students of geological sciences and engineering the opportunity to gain skills in parallelized coding and execution.
Dendro Laboratory
Dedicated to tree-ring analysis, the Dendro Lab provides the opportunity for students to gain practical knowledge of the relation between tree growth and climate.
Geospatial Laboratory (G-Lab)
In the G-Lab, students can apply GIS technologies and spatial statistics to the research of ecosystems pattern and processes and their affected biotic and abiotic components.
