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

麦克纳特博士将学习与海洋地震数据采集、处理和解释相关的理论和技术。这将使她能够最大限度地利用她从法属波利尼西亚收集或计划获取的地震数据。麦克纳特博士将在一门研究生课程中讲授海洋盆地深度异常的起源。本课程旨在说明假设检验和多学科方法解决问题的重要性。她还将组织一系列非正式的纸袋研讨会，为女研究生和初级工作人员提供机会，听取更资深的女科学家介绍她们的各种研究项目以及平衡个人和专业活动的不同方法。该项目进一步推动了VPW计划的目标，即：(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)通过提高受雇于工业、政府和学术机构的女科学家和工程师的知名度，鼓励妇女追求科学和工程事业。通过鼓励妇女参与科学，这是对国家未来科学活力的宝贵投资。

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.
