Acquisition of Computer Equipment for Crustal Deformation Research

0075680 Freymueller这笔赠款用于支持费尔班克斯阿拉斯加大学地球物理研究所地壳变形研究计算设施的升级费用。沿着地球物理研究所提供的费用分摊，这笔赠款将提供资金，用于购置一台新的服务器计算机和几个工作站，以及用于下载实地数据的膝上型计算机。 新的计算机将取代老化的工作站和不可靠的笔记本电脑。新的计算机将用于支持一项由国家科学基金会支助的关于阿拉斯加和亚洲地壳变形的正在进行的研究方案，该方案使用全球定位系统和干涉合成孔径雷达（干涉合成孔径雷达）技术。新购置的计算机将为全球定位系统和干涉合成孔径雷达数据分析以及所得数据的反演和建模提供坚实的计算基础。 除了PI，Jeff Freymueller，该设备将由五名研究生（三名女性），一名博士后和一名新教师（招聘正在进行中）使用。

0075680FreymuellerThis grant provides support for the costs of upgrading the computing facilities for crustal deformation research at the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Along with cost-sharing provided by the Geophysical Institute, this grant will provide funds to acquire a new server computer and several workstations, as well as laptop computers for downloading field data. The new computers will replace aging workstations and unreliable laptops. The new computers will be used to support an active ongoing NSF-supported research program on deformation of the crust in Alaska and Asia, using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques. The newly-acquired computers will provide a solid computational foundation for GPS and InSAR data analysis, and inversion and modeling of the resulting data. In addition to the PI, Jeff Freymueller, the equipment will be used by five graduate students (three female), one postdoc, and a new faculty member (hiring is in progress).***
