Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation of Marine Seismic Data (Ocean Science)

McNutt博士将学习有关的理论和技术 海洋地震数据的采集、处理和解释。 这将使她能够最大限度地利用地震数据， 收集或计划从法属波利尼西亚获得。 麦克纳特博士将教授一门研究生课程， 海洋盆地的异常现象。 该课程将被设计为 说明假设检验和多学科的重要性 解决问题的方法。 她还将组织一次非正式的 布朗袋研讨会系列，将提供妇女研究生 和初级工作人员有机会听到更多 高级女科学家介绍她们的各种研究项目， 平衡个人和职业的不同方法 活动 该项目进一步促进了VPW计划的目标，即（1）提供 为妇女提供在工程和技术领域发展职业生涯的机会 由NSF支持的科学学科和（2）鼓励妇女 通过提供更大的科学和工程专业知识， 在工业界就业的女科学家和女工程师的知名度， 政府和学术机构。 通过鼓励 妇女参与科学，这是一项宝贵的投资， 国家未来的科学活力。

Dr. McNutt will learn the theory and techniques relating to the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of marine seismic data. This will allow her to make maximum use of seismic data she has collected or plans to acquire from French Polynesia. Dr. McNutt will teach a graduate course on the origin of depth anomalies in the ocean basins. The course will be designed to illustrate the importance of hypothesis testing and multi-disciplinary approaches to problem solving. She will also organize an informal brown bag seminar series which will provide women graduate students and junior staff members with the opportunity to hear from more senior women scientists about their various research projects and different approaches to balancing personal and professional activities. 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. By encouraging the participation of women in science, it is a valuable investment in the Nation's future scientific vitality.
