Upgrading of the Seismology Research Computer Facility at the University of Arizona

小行星9806229 这笔赠款提供部分资金，以升级亚利桑那大学地震学研究计算机设施，以适应网络负载，大容量存储要求和计算速度不断增长的需求。在过去的五年中，亚利桑那大学地震学的计算需求随着我们参与四个主要的现场实验和1997年增加一名新教师而大大扩展。升级后的设施将用于地震学小组的研究项目，该小组包括四名教员（贝克、约翰逊、华莱士和赞特）、一名计算机系统管理员，目前还有一名博士后和12名研究生。每个教师至少有一个积极的NSF研究资助，并参与研究，跨越广泛的主题，包括中深和深地震的震源特性，大，大环太平洋地震的地震周期，岩石圈结构和中部安第斯山脉和西藏的区域构造，美国西部火山岩的地壳结构和地震地层学，以及全面禁止核试验条约的监督。 ***

9806229 Zandt This grant provides partial funding to upgrade the University of Arizona seismology research computer facility to accommodate increasing demands in network loads, mass storage requirements, and computational speed. In the past five years the computational needs in seismology at the University of Arizona have expanded greatly with our involvement in four major field experiments and the addition of a new faculty member in 1997. The upgraded facility will be used in the research programs of the seismology group that includes four faculty members (Beck, Johnson, Wallace, and Zandt), a computer systems administrator, and currently one postdoc and 12 graduate students. Each faculty member has at least one active NSF research grant, and are involved in research that spans a broad range of topics including the source properties of intermediate-depth and deep earthquakes, the earthquake cycle of large and great circum-Pacific earthquakes, the lithospheric structure and regional tectonics of the central Andes and Tibet, the crustal structure and seismic stratigraphy of terranes in the western U.S., and monitoring of the comprehensive test ban treaty. ***
