Computer Upgrade for the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico

该合同提供了购买设备以升级新墨西哥大学地球和行星科学系计算设施所需资金的62%。新墨西哥大学承诺提供必要的剩余资金。升级后的计算机系统将分布在教职员工和学生站中，旨在为大量的研究型学生和教职员工提供访问途径。除了教育用途外，该系统还将用于构造地质学、沉积学、水文地质学、地球化学、矿物学和陨石学的活跃研究项目，以及该部分析设施(电子探针、分析高分辨率电子显微镜和X射线衍射仪)的专门应用。

This award provides 62% of the funds required for the acquisition of equipment to upgrade the computing facilities in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico. The University of New Mexico is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary. The upgraded computing system will be distributed among faculty and student stations and is designed to provide access to a large number of research students and faculty. In addition to educational use the system will be used in active research projects in structural geology, sedimentology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and meteoritics, as well as dedicated applications in the operation of the Department's analytical facilities (electron microprobe, analytical-high-resolution electron microscope, and X- ray diffractometer).
