SAGE, the Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience, is a unique educational program designed to introduce students in geophysics and related fields to "hands on" geophysical exploration and research. The program emphasizes both teaching of field methods and research related to a variety of basic and applied problems.
Support for SAGE is provided by the U. S. Department of Energy, U. S. National Science Foundation, Los Alamos National Laboratory, U. S. Geologic Survey, Society of Exploration Geophysicists Foundation, SAGE Endowment, a consortium of large and small companies, student fees and our faculty's institutions. SAGE is a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program.

We particularly encourage qualified U. S. undergraduates with an
interest in geophysics who have successfully completed their junior
year and have had the requisite physics & calculus.
Through the generous support of ExxonMobil, we are able to provide recognition & some financial support for up to five graduate students. The ExxonMobil SAGE Scholars are selected from the graduate students attending the program. Selections are made at the end of the summer program.
Return to this site in the coming months for more information about SAGE 2010.
SAGE 2009 was very successful in all respects, and we sincerely thank our many sponsors and supporters without whom it could not have been accomplished.
