Quantification, Visualization and Manipulation of Geologic Systems

地质系正在购买基于图形的 工作站和电子测量设备带来三个 三维可视化、数据处理和定量 实地调查方法纳入本科课程。图形 工作站，通过计算机图形连接到服务器， 用交互式图形显示三维模型 允许学生改变参数和边界条件， 来解决各种地质问题。 学生创造，渲染， 和操纵地形模型;地球物理或卫星 数据集叠加在图形模型和某些系统上， 例如雪崩或海滩过程，可以在顶部进行动画显示 数字

The Geology Department is purchasing SPARC based graphics workstations, and electronic measuring devices to bring three dimensional visualization, processing of data, and quantitative field methods into the undergraduate curriculum. The graphics work stations, networked to a server with computer graphics, displays three dimensional models with interactive graphics that allows students to vary parameters and boundary conditions for a variety of geologic problems. Students create, render, and manipulate topographic models; geophysical or satellite data sets are superimposed on graphic models and some systems, such as avalanches or beach processes, can be animated on top of digital
