0091845PeltzerThis grant provides partial support of the costs of acquiring a multi-processor computer and workstations to set up an interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) processing facility for solid Earth geophysical research within UCLA's Earth and Space Sciences Department. The PI, Gilles Peltzer, is a recent addition to the ESS department faculty at UCLA, after having spent 10 years as a research scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In addition to G. Peltzer's group including post-doctoral scholars and graduate students, the system will be used by a larger group of faculty including, but not limited to, Profs. J. Vidale, D. Jackson and collaborating scholars engaged in processing and analysis of massive data sets and CPU-intensive physical modeling.The computer server will allow processing and analyses of large sets of InSAR data for research aimed at understanding sub-surface processes involved in the generation of earthquakes, the relaxation of the stress following these events, volcanic eruptions, and more surficial effects including the surface deformation produced by crustal fluid extraction and reinjection. The observations made possible using InSAR (providing spatial continuity of sampling) ideally complement those made with permanent GPS arrays (temporal continuity). The ability to rapidly analyze and interpret both sets of geophysical data will be immediately useful for geodetic and seismological research conducted by several scientists within the Earth and Space Science department of UCLA.***

0091845 Peltz这笔赠款提供了购买多处理器计算机和工作站的部分支持，以建立一个干涉合成孔径雷达（干涉合成孔径雷达）处理设施，用于加州大学洛杉矶分校地球和空间科学系的固体地球物理研究。PI，Gilles Peltzer，是最近加入加州大学洛杉矶分校ESS系的教师，在喷气推进实验室担任研究科学家10年后。除G. Peltzer的团队包括博士后学者和研究生，该系统将被更大的教师群体使用，包括但不限于教授。J. Vidale，D.杰克逊和合作学者从事处理和分析大量数据集和CPU密集型物理建模。计算机服务器将允许处理和分析大型干涉合成孔径雷达数据集，用于旨在了解地震生成所涉及的地下过程，这些事件后的应力松弛，火山爆发，以及地壳流体抽采和回注所产生的地表形变等地表效应。 利用干涉合成孔径雷达（提供采样的空间连续性）进行的观测是对利用永久性全球定位系统阵列（时间连续性）进行的观测的理想补充。 快速分析和解释这两组地球物理数据的能力将立即用于加州大学洛杉矶分校地球与空间科学系的几位科学家进行的大地测量和地震学研究。
