9910255RussoThis grant provides partial funding for a comprehensive upgrade of the Northwestern University Department of Geological Sciences computer network. The upgraded system will consist of a mix of SUN (or equivalent) workstations and Macintosh machines, with two servers providing computational and networking muscle for the distributed workstations, and the Macs providing easy-to-use graphics and computing capabilities to Department members and many undergraduate students. A new large format color printer will also be purchased for production of posters, maps, and instructional figures. This upgrade will benefit faculty and a multitude of undergraduate and graduate students involved in research programs in seismology, tectonics, mineral physics, planetary geophysics, and Earth surface processes.***

这笔赠款为西北大学地质科学系计算机网络的全面升级提供了部分资金。升级后的系统将由SUN(或同等)工作站和Macintosh计算机混合组成，其中两台服务器为分布式工作站提供计算和联网力量，而Mac为系成员和许多本科生提供易于使用的图形和计算能力。还将购买一台新的大幅面彩色打印机，用于制作海报、地图和教学插图。这一升级将使从事地震学、构造学、矿物物理、行星地球物理和地球表面过程研究项目的教师和大量本科生和研究生受益。
