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

McNutt博士将学习有关海洋地震数据采集、处理和解释的理论和技术。这将使她能够最大限度地利用她已经收集或计划从法属波利尼西亚获得的地震数据。麦克纳特博士将教授一门研究生课程，内容是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。她还将组织一个非正式的棕色包系列研讨会，为女性研究生和初级工作人员提供机会，听取更资深的女性科学家关于她们的各种研究项目和平衡个人和专业活动的不同方法。​该项目进一步推进了VPW计划的目标，即(1)为女性提供在工程和NSF支持的科学学科中发展职业的机会；(2)通过为在工业、政府和学术机构工作的女性科学家和工程师提供更大的知名度，鼓励女性在科学和工程领域追求职业。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.
