Facility Upgrade: Seismology Laboratory at Lehigh University

小行星9528954 这笔赠款提供了部分支持，用于购买硬件和软件的费用，以升级利哈伊地震实验室。 具体来说，我们会购置一个新的IBM 3CT RS/6000工作站，配备大容量储存系统、Power MAC 9500、彩色绘图仪、OMEGA三维成像软件，以分析地震数据，以及其他外围设备，供首席研究员进行研究时使用，以便利用高分辨率地震反射和折射数据，解释地壳上层结构。 开始对地震数据进行三维分析时，需要具有丰富内存和数据存储能力的功能强大的新工作站。 三维地震数据处理将立即有助于PI目前的研究，其中包括分析门多西诺三联点周围的地壳结构，在那里发生了从俯冲到转换构造的过渡，并研究喜马拉雅山西北部活动造山期间的地壳断裂。 它还将为环境和社会意义的研究，如流体沿沿着浅断层的迁移和高分辨率地层学，提供对最上层地壳结构的新认识。 ***

9528954 Meltzer This grant provides partial support for the costs of acquiring hardware and software to upgrade the Lehigh seismology laboratory. Specifically, a new IBM 3CT RS/6000 workstation with mass storage system, Power MAC 9500, color plotter, OMEGA 3-D imaging software for analysis of seismic data, and other peripherals will be purchased for use in the PI's research using high resolution seismic reflection and refraction data for interpreting upper crustal structure. Powerful new workstations with an abundance of memory and data storage capabilities are required to begin to analyze seismic data three dimensionally. 3-D seismic data processing will be immediately useful to the PI's current research which includes analyses of the crustal structure around the Mendocino Triple Junction where a transition occurs from subduction to transform tectonics and studies of crustal faulting during active orogenesis in the northwest Himalayas. It will also provide new insight into the structure of the uppermost crust for studies of environmental and societal significance such as fluid migration along shallow faults and high resolution stratigraphy. ***
