As part of our regular “We Are!” feature, we recognize 12 Penn Staters who have gone above and beyond what’s asked of them in their work at the University, including Noelle Capparelle.
This Graduate Certificate in Energy Transition Strategies is an advanced online program designed for those students seeking to play a pivotal role in the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions. This certificate equips students with the knowledge and skills to critically articulate the technical fundamentals underlying renewable energy systems and their significance within both local and global contexts of energy transitions.
The Certificate in Spatial Data Science prepares students who have prior experience with the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to research, design, and create novel analytical and visualization solutions to complex problems that intersect people and the environment. The program engages key theories, emerging research, and contemporary spatial analysis techniques so that students can develop new spatial data science software, analytical methods, and cartographic products to visualize and communicate analytical results.
Penn State’s Local Climate Action Program (LCAP) is making a valuable impact beyond Pennsylvania’s borders, thanks in part to recent World Campus Energy and Sustainability Policy graduate, Joe Thompson.
Michael Johnson, a Doylestown, Pennsylvania native, has been named the student marshal for the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences’ summer 2024 commencement ceremony, which will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10, in the Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State's University Park campus.
As the use of location-based data becomes more pervasive and complicated, we need experts who can leverage spatial data to develop insights and improve decision-making. The Penn State Master of Science in Spatial Data Science (SDS) can prepare you to work at the forefront of the geospatial industry, where Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis intersect with the principles of data science, visualization, and programming.
As a student in this completely online program, you can learn to:
A Penn State World Campus student is eager to be a better steward of the Earth’s resources because of a life-changing trip she took over spring break to Belize through the GREEN Program.
