Upgrading of the Geophysics Computer Network at Purdue

该合同将提供购买6台计算机工作站所需资金的一半，并为普渡大学地球和大气科学系的地球物理计算机网络增加数据存储空间。该大学承诺提供所需的剩余资金。升级后的计算机系统将用于地球物理研究项目，范围从地震层析成像、广角地震数据反演、地球重力场研究、岩石弹性性质的实验室测定分析，以及地幔对流过程的数值模拟。

This award will provide one-half the funds needed to acquire six computer workstations and increase data storage space for the geophysics computer network in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Purdue University. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds required. The upgraded computer system will be used in geophysical research projects ranging from seismic tomography, inversion of wide-angle seismic data, study of the Earth's gravity field, analysis of laboratory determinations of the elastic properties of rocks, and numerical modeling of mantle convection processes.
