Distribution of coal mining waste along streams and water bodies. Created by Taylor Alexander Brown, Heidi Ann Clayton, and Xiaomei Wang for their project called Coal and Open-pit surface mining impacts on American Lands (COAL).<\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n

Three Oregon State University students working with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory received the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) Startup Allocation based on their senior design capstone project.<\/p>\n

Taylor Alexander Brown (computer science), Heidi Ann Clayton (computer science), \u00a0and Xiaomei Wang (finance), also won the CH2M Multidisciplinary Collaboration Award at the 2017 Undergraduate Engineering Expo at Oregon State for their project called Coal and Open-pit surface mining impacts on American Lands (COAL).<\/p>\n

The team created a system to process remote-sensing data to identify land surface types, coal mining operations, and the environmental impacts on water resources to help NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory study the effects of coal mining on the environment.<\/p>\n

The XSEDE award will allow the team to continue development on the project including the use of XSEDE resources for benchmarking, evaluation and experimentation. Funded by the National Science Foundation, XSEDE is a collection of integrated advanced digital resources and services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe availability and opportunity to use computational infrastructure of this caliber will further enable the development of a science gateway to continue foundational COAL research,\u201d said Lewis John McGibbney, data scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the client for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely proud of the team\u2019s achievements and know that such endeavors set a high standard for each and every one of them as they progress further through their journey in higher education and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
