211 Student Computing Lab

 

Modern computing facilities are an integral part of earth science research. The Department of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth College is well equipped, with modern computing labs. The 211 Lab is designed to meet the computing needs of the earth sciences classes. The contact for this lab is Carl Renshaw .

A few notes about the lab: Please contact Carl Renshaw for all software installation needs, and any issue with hardware or currently installed software. All PC computers in the lab are on the KEWIT Domain and can only be accessed with the Public KIEWIT account. All local files must be saved in the c:\student_documents. Files cannot be saved to any other location on the c:\ drive. Geo can be accessed by mapping a network drive and connected with your KEWIT username and password (instructions to do this are posted in the lab). Since these are public computers, please backup your work to a CD or GEO on a regular basis.
