9712065 Pinter This grant provides $14,758 as one-half support of the costs of acquiring a workstation with expanded memory and disk storage and GIS software for studies in geomorphology utilizing digital elevation models (DEMs). This facility will be used to explore fundamental relationships between relief, elevation, erosion and tectonics for major drainage basins in North America, will help to characterize the dominant geomorphic agents responsible for erosions in these basins and will test Anhert's Law, which relates basin-scale erosion rates and topographic relief. These studies have global relevance to our understanding of the relationships between tectonics and climate. This facility will also support studies in groundwater and watershed hydrology, environmental and resource analyses and geologic mapping. ***

小行星9712065 这笔赠款提供14 758美元，作为购置一个具有扩展内存和磁盘存储的工作站以及地理信息系统软件的一半费用，用于利用数字高程模型进行地貌学研究。 该设施将用于探索北美主要流域的地形起伏、海拔高度、侵蚀和构造之间的基本关系，将有助于确定造成这些流域侵蚀的主要地貌因素的特征，并将检验与流域侵蚀率和地形起伏有关的安赫特定律。 这些研究对我们理解构造与气候之间的关系具有全球意义。 该设施还将支持地下水和流域水文学研究、环境和资源分析以及地质绘图。 ***
