Upgrading of the CERI Computing Services

0214206威瑟斯这笔赠款为孟菲斯大学地震研究和信息中心（CERI）的计算设施升级提供支持。 采购的设备将包括两台SUN多CPU服务器、一个RAID系统、一个磁带备份系统、两台彩色打印机和几个独立的工作站。 该设备将促进CERI的多种功能，包括作为对减轻新马德里断层带周围地震危害感兴趣的州和地方政府的信息中心，维护地震危害公共宣传计划，与USGS合作维护美国中部和东部地震活动数据库，以及基础地震学和大地测量学研究和教育。 CERI的几位研究人员，包括Mitch Withers、Arch约翰斯顿、Michael Ellis、Robert Smalley和Chuck兰斯顿，将使用这种设备进行地震学、地幔层析成像和活动边缘板块运动学的研究。 ***

0214206WithersThis grant provides support for an upgrade of the computational facilities at the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI), University of Memphis. Equipment to be purchased will include two SUN multi-CPU severs, a RAID system, a tape backup system, two color printers, and several individual workstations. This equipment will facilitate a multitude of CERI functions including, a role as an information center for state and local governments interested in mitigating seismic hazards surrounding the New Madrid Fault Zone, maintenance of a public outreach program on earthquake hazards, maintenance of the central and eastern U.S. seismicity database in collaboration with the USGS, and basic seismological and geodetic research and education. Several researchers at CERI including Mitch Withers, Arch Johnston, Michael Ellis, Robert Smalley and Chuck Langston will employ this equipment for research in earthquake seismology, mantle tomography and active margin plate kinematics. ***
