9316611 Smithson This award provides one-half the funding needed for the acquisition of a high-resolution reflection seismograph system to be used in basic research on seismic reflection methods applied to imaging the upper crust. The instrument system will be operated by the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Wyoming. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the purchase of the equipment. The seismic reflection method is the most effective means of imaging the subsurface, but common seismic recording equipment does not have the capability of recording the high-frequencies (to 100 Hz) needed to achieve high-resolution images. The new system will be used by the reflection seismology group at the University of Wyoming to obtain improved images of shallow crustal structures. ***

小行星9316611 该合同提供了购置高分辨率反射地震仪系统所需资金的一半，该系统将用于上层地壳成像地震反射方法的基础研究。该仪器系统将由怀俄明州大学地质和地球物理系操作。大学承诺提供购买设备所需的剩余资金。 地震反射法是地下成像的最有效手段，但普通地震记录设备不具备记录获得高分辨率图像所需的高频（至100 Hz）的能力。怀俄明州大学的反射地震学小组将使用这一新系统来获得更好的浅层地壳结构图像。 ***
