Upgrading of Computer Facility for Research in Seismology

该奖项提供了购买计算机设备所需资金的一半，以服务于哈佛大学地球与行星科学系的地震学研究小组。哈佛承诺提供剩余的必要资金。该设备包括将两个文件服务器升级为多处理器机器、工作站升级、获取彩色图形工作站和获取磁带存档单元。哈佛大学的地震学研究小组调查了地震学中广泛的问题，包括分析震源参数研究和确定地球结构的大型数据集。

This award provides one-half the funding required for the purchase of computer equipment to serve the seismology research group in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. Harvard is committed to providing the remaining necessary funds. The equipment includes upgrades of two fileservers to multiprocessor machines, workstation upgrades, acquisition of a color graphics workstation, and the acquisition of a tape archive unit. The seismology research group at Harvard investigates a broad range of problems in seismology including the analysis of very large data sets for the study of earthquake source parameters and the determination of earth structure.
