The Department of Geological Sciences at Northwestern University requests funding from NSF to pay for 45% of the cost of upgrading their computer system. The remaining 55% will be contributed by Northwestern University. The computer system will be use primarily for research in global plate motions, display and analysis of large data sets for digital topography, marine magnetics and satellite altimetry, physics of the earth's deep interior, subduction zone dynamics, and the evolution of divergent plate boundaries. The proposed upgrade, consisting of a fileserver and two graphics workstations, will be an asset in these areas of research because of the much faster turnaround time in numerical processing and the greatly enhanced modeling capabilities of the new graphics system.

西北大学地质科学系 大学要求NSF资助45%的费用 升级他们的电脑系统剩下的55%， 由西北大学提供。计算机系统将 主要用于研究全球板块运动，显示 数字地形学、海洋学和海洋学的大型数据集分析 磁力学和卫星测高，地球深部物理学 内部、俯冲带动力学以及 分散的板块边界。拟议的升级包括 一个文件服务器和两个图形工作站，将成为 这些领域的研究，因为更快的周转 时间在数值处理和大大增强建模 新图形系统的能力。
