Mini-Supercomputer for the Investigation of the Geomagnetic Field and the Geodynamo

小行星9317156 该奖项提供购买计算设备所需资金的一半，这些设备将在哈佛大学地球和行星科学系安装和运行。哈佛承诺提供购买设备所需的剩余资金。该计算机将主要用于满足该部门的地球物理组的研究需要，其项目包括地球发电机的数值模拟，磁流体力学的理论计算和地球地磁场的解释。 ***

9317156 Bloxham This award provides one-half of the funds required to purchase computing equipment to be installed and operated in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. Harvard is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary to acquire the equipment. The computer will be used primarily to serve the research needs of the department's geophysics group whose projects include numerical modeling of the Earth's geodynamo, theoretical calculations of magnetohydrodynamics, and interpretations of the Earth's geomagnetic field. ***
