Scaling Effects in Centrifuge Models of Granular Slope Instability (Engineering)

这个项目将为首席研究人员提供机会，进行在她的家乡机构不可能进行的高级研究，并通过教学、咨询和指导活动与学生和同事互动，以展示她在科学方面的职业生涯。该项目进一步推动了VPW计划的目标：(1)为妇女提供机会，在NSF资助的工程和科学学科中发展她们的职业生涯；(2)通过为受雇于工业、政府和学术机构的女科学家和工程师提供更大的知名度，鼓励她们追求科学和工程事业。

This project will provide the principal investigator with the opportunity to conduct advanced research not possible at her home institution and to interact with students and colleagues through teaching, counseling, and mentoring activities in a way that demonstrates her career in science. This project furthers VPW program objectives which are: (1) to provide opportunities for women to advance their careers in engineering and in the disciplines of science supported by NSF and (2) to encourage women to pursue careers in science and engineering by providing greater visibility for women scientists and engineers employed in industry, government, and academic institutions.
