217 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 217 Lab is designed to meet the computing needs of undergratuate and graduate students. All computers in this lab are high end workstation class systems designed for computation. The contact for this lab is Ed Meyer.

A few notes about the lab: Please contact Ed Meyer for all software installation needs, and issues related to hardware or currently installed software. All PC computers in the lab are on the KIEWIT Domain and can be accessed by current Earth Sceicnes undergraduates and graduate students with a KEWIT account. All local files must be saved in the c:\student_documents or c:\faculty_documents folders. These are public computers, so please backup your work to a CD, DVD, or GEO on a regular basis.
