About the program

The Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience (SAGE) is a unique program designated to introduce geophysics students to geophysical exploration and research.

SAGE's purpose is to enhance a student's knowledge by going beyond a standard classroom-based geophysics curriculum, and to encourage qualified students in related fields to consider careers in geophysics.

• More about SAGE

The course focuses the student's preparation and experience on geological problems of research and practical interest. Students combine geophysical data, acquired using a variety of techniques, with knowledge of the geological setting to derive integrated subsurface interpretations.

Processing and modeling of geophysical data are PC and workstation-based, using state-of-the-art software. Modern field equipment and vehicles are provided by various academic institutions and industrial affiliates.

SAGE faculty consists of active, dedicated, and experienced researchers.

Students are predominantly upper division or graduate students in geophysics or related disciplines from a variety of U.S. and foreign institutions, and professionals from various earth science fields.

• Who qualifies

SAGE has operated in the Rio Grande rift in New Mexico since 1983.
