0001918SlingerlandThis grant provides partial support of the costs of upgrading computational equipment within the Geosciences Department at Penn State University (PSU). High end multi-CPU servers and networked workstations will allow sharing of computational resources by various targeted research groups, postdocs, and graduate and undergraduate students. The equipment will be used for a wide array of compute intensive research in the earth sciences including: seismological research aimed at elucidating the structure of continental crust and volcanic plumbing systems; studies of the geodynamic evolution of active plate margins; modeling of fluvial erosional processes and landscape evolution; modeling basin sedimentation processes; and simulations of chemical reactions and kinetics at mineral-water interfaces. ***

这项拨款为宾州州立大学（PSU）地球科学系升级计算设备的费用提供部分支持。高端的多cpu服务器和网络化工作站将允许各种目标研究小组、博士后、研究生和本科生共享计算资源。该设备将用于地球科学领域广泛的计算密集型研究，包括：旨在阐明大陆地壳结构和火山管道系统的地震学研究；活动板块边缘地球动力学演化研究河流侵蚀过程模拟与景观演化；模拟盆地沉积过程；以及模拟矿物-水界面的化学反应和动力学。＊＊＊
