Establishment of a Facility for Geophysical and Oceanographic Data Analysis, Modeling, Distribution and Archiving

该奖项提供部分（60%）资金用于购买计算机系统，供华盛顿大学海洋学院和地球物理项目的研究人员使用。华盛顿大学承诺为该设备提供40%的购置费用。这些设备将用于升级太阳工作站和外围设备的分布式网络，用于研究地幔的电导率、长周期大地电磁观测、海底侧面扫描声学成像和洋中脊热液活动的动力学。

This award provides partial (60%) funding to purchase a computer system for use by researchers in the School of Oceanography and the Geophysics Program at the University of Washington. The University of Washington is committed to providing 40% of the acquisition cost for this equipment. The equipment will serve to upgrade a distributed network of Sun workstations and peripherals for research in the electrical conductivity of the mantle, long-period magnetotelluric observations, side-scan acoustic seafloor imaging, and the dynamics of mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal activity.
