The Geoscience Hackathon, organized by the Jackson School of Geosciences with the support of the UT Open-Source Program Office (UT-OSPO), will take place on October 4-6 in the Perry Castañeda Library Scholar's Lab.
Hackathons help develop software programming skills, boost creativity, promote collaboration and networking, and provide opportunities to contribute to open-source projects.
The topic of the 2024 Hackathon is computational reproducibility. “Geoscience Papers of the Future” (GPF) refer to publications that include links to and descriptions of datasets, software, and workflows used to generate computational results. Hackathon participants will work in teams under the guidance of mentors to translate previously published historically significant papers into the GPF format. A panel of judges will evaluate the team projects and award prizes.
