A Computer System for Field Processing and Advanced Labora- tory Analysis of Seismic Reflection Data

该合同为购置便携式计算机工作站系统提供了部分资金，该系统将用于现场实验中收集的地震数据的质量控制和实验室中的数据解释。该系统将由怀俄明大学地质和地球物理系的地震学研究小组操作和维护。该大学承诺提供该系统购置费用的46%。新设备将支持怀俄明州的反射地震学项目，该项目包括两名教授、两名博士后助理研究员和十几名研究生。他们的研究计划旨在解释长谷火山口杂岩、内华达盆地和山脉、怀俄明州的前寒武纪缝合带以及明尼苏达州和格陵兰岛西部的古(太古代)地壳的地下地质结构。

This award provides partial funding for the acquisition of a portable computer workstation system that will be used for quality control of seismic data being gathered in field experiments and for data interpretation in the laboratory. The system will be operated and maintained by the seismology research group in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Wyoming. The University is committed to supplying 46% of the acquisition costs of the system. The new equipment will support the reflection seismology program at Wyoming which includes two professors, two post- doctoral research associates and more than a dozen graduate students. Their research program is designed to interpret sub- surface geologic structures in the Long Valley caldera complex, the Nevada Basin and Range, pre-Cambrian sutures in Wyoming, and the ancient (Archean) crust in Minnesota and western Greenland.
