The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) at Cornell is focused on understanding the nature and evolution of our home planet by applying the basic principles of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. EAS hosts frontier research on a wide variety of processes which drive the solid earth, the oceans, and the atmosphere. From geohazards to critical resources, from the origin of mountains to the origin of megastorms, from the inner core to the edge of space, from reading the geological record of ancient earth to forecasting meteorological threats to future earth, the scientists and students of EAS use the latest technologies while traveling the globe to probe our physical environment.
Our team of faculty, students, alumni and staff member are seeking your support to update computers in the EAS teaching lab. This computer lab is essential to academic experience and the learning outcomes of our students. Computer knowledge and programming skills are used to solve homework problems, download large data sets of model output to be used in undergraduate research, and for operational forecasting exercises. In addition, the computer lab provides our undergraduate student access to current meteorological software (McIDAS, GEMPACK, GrADS, BUFKIT) used by private and governmental operational meteorology agencies. The laboratory also provides ocean science students with state-of-the art NASA software for processing and analyzing a wide-range of satellite-derived observations and serves as home base for an internationally recognized summer graduate training program in ocean satellite remote sensing.
We are dedicated to training the next generation of global leaders in earth and atmospheric sciences while promoting a citizenry informed on the science behind the important environmental and hazard issues of our time. Your gift will help us provide students and faculty members with the technology they need to do this important work.

Become a friend of the lab and help get our workstation renewal off the ground.
Your gift is helping us reach new heights and it is really adding up!
Your donation will be sure to stretch across our lab, reaching students and faculty who are making a real difference.
Soaring high, at this level you will provide half the funds needed to buy a lab computer.
Now you're making it rain. With a gift at this level, you have providing enough funding to purchase one computer setup. We'll name the computer as you'd like - either honoring your gift, honoring a favorite faculty member or perhaps your favorite weather system!
This is big. A gift at this his level will purchase two computers for the lab. We'll name the computers as you'd like - either honoring your gift, honoring a favorite faculty member or perhaps your favorite weather system!
