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. ***

9806229 Zandt这笔赠款提供部分资金，用于升级亚利桑那大学地震研究计算机设施，以适应网络负载、海量存储需求和计算速度方面日益增长的需求。在过去的五年里，亚利桑那大学对地震学的计算需求大大增加，我们参与了四个主要的野外实验，并在1997年增加了一名新的教员。升级后的设备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以及目前的一名博士后和12名研究生。每名教师至少有一项国家科学基金会现役研究拨款，参与的研究课题广泛，包括中深地震的震源性质、环太平洋大地震和大地震的地震旋回、安第斯山脉中部和西藏的岩石圈结构和区域构造、美国西部地体的地壳结构和地震地层学，以及全面禁止核试验条约的监测。***
