Seismic Research Centre, St. Augustine, Trinidad & Tobago. Monday 01st September 2025 – This year, The UWI-SRC was pleased to welcome Mr Joshua Hazzard and Ms Chisara Santana for the 2025 C.O.R.E (Creating Opportunities through Research and Experience) internship cycle.
C.O.R.E is the Centre’s 8 week July-August vacation program for highly-motivated university students and recent graduates (2 years) interested in pursuing geoscience careers. Mr Hazzard worked on water level detection using image processing for the Multi-hazard Early Warning system for Trinidad and Tobago project supervised by Dr Omari Graham and Mr Ian Juman. Ms Santana focused on the GIS component in the Trinidad & Tobago Microzonation Project supervised by Dr Ilias Papadopoulos. See here for full details of both projects.
Our successful candidates experienced a comprehensive understanding of the Centre’s operations with weekly ‘Apprentice Session’ rotations to each section. While learning new skills, it allowed them the opportunity to experience the work of our Technicians, Seismologists, Geophysicists, Volcanologists and Outreach Officers.
On Friday 22nd August, our interns gave their presentations on work done over the internship to staff and were awarded their certificates. We wish them continued success in their future endeavors.
