WE PROPOSE TO CONTINUE AND TO ENHANCE OUR SUMMER PROGRAM FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN COMPUTATION FOR STUDENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. OUR PROGRAM THE INTENSIVE SUMMER SCHOOL IN COMPUTING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES ISSCENS HAS ALREADY TRAINED OVER 50 STUDENTS IN BASIC PROGRAMMING AND THE ELEMENTS OF SOFTWARE BEST PRACTICES OVER TWO SESSIONS. AFTER THEIR TRAINING MOST STUDENTS GO ON TO SUMMER INTERNSHIPS WHERE THEY APPLY THEIR SKILLS TO PROJECTS IN THEIR FIELDS. TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE IN COMPUTING FOR STUDENTS IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE OF SCIENTIFIC MODELING; RENEWAL OF OUR PROGRAM WOULD ENABLE US TO EXPAND UPON OUR SUCCESS WITH IMPROVED TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND TO PLACE MORE STUDENTS IN NASA INTERNSHIPS
