Facility Upgrade: Seismology Laboratory at Lehigh University

9528954梅尔策这笔赠款提供部分支持，用于购买升级利哈伊地震学实验室所需的硬件和软件。具体地说，将购买一台新的IBM 3CT RS/6000工作站，配备大容量存储系统、Power MAC 9500、彩色绘图仪、用于分析地震数据的欧米茄3-D成像软件以及其他外围设备，用于PI的研究，使用高分辨率地震反射和折射数据来解释上地壳结构。为了开始对地震数据进行三维分析，需要功能强大的新工作站，这些工作站具有丰富的内存和数据存储能力。三维地震数据处理将立即用于PI目前的研究，包括分析从俯冲到转换构造的门多西诺三重结合部周围的地壳结构，以及研究喜马拉雅西北地区活动造山过程中的地壳断裂作用。它还将为环境和社会意义的研究，如沿浅层断层的流体运移和高分辨率地层学，提供对最上部地壳结构的新见解。***

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. ***
