The Department of Geology maintains three computing laboratories in the Geology Building: one primarily for use by undergraduates in their research; one for use by upper level geology classes; and one primarily for graduate student use. Access to the rooms is restricted.

Available for use in these rooms are PCs, networked high-speed color laser printers, and flatbed scanners. Also available is an HP DesignJet 4600CP large format poster printer.
