The PI will develop a web-based, interactive stereographic projection application, called TempoNet, which will permit end users to incorporate the time dimension into their structural and tectonic analyses of orientation data. The design of TempoNet will be based on a prototype that has already been developed as a proof of concept. The prototype is currently used for teaching, but lacks the functionality of the proposed research tool. TempoNet will be written using a Java-like programming language called Actionscript that is embedded in the Flash web development application from Macromedia.com. Data input will be possible via plain text documents, spreadsheets, HTML documents, and XML documents.It will be easy for non-technical geoscientists to use TempoNet, either as a stand-aloneapplication for both Windows and Macintosh, or with a version 5 or higher web browserrunning under Windows 95 / NT / Xp, Mac OS9 / OSX, or Unix (including Linux and Solaris). Examples of potential research applications include:(i) Real-time monitoring of neotectonic and geophysical data stored locally, or at anyworldwide web URL;(ii) Interactive, sequential restoration of paleotectonic data in areas of fault-related tilting and folding;(iii) Forward modeling of macro- and micro-fabric development during progressivedeformation.TempoNet will enable an extremely wide range of geoscience teachers and researchers to access information that is available on the web and to view it in a convenient and meaningful format that is updated in real-time. Practical applications of TempoNet will be tested by a group of undergraduate students using data currently available in-house, as well as web-based data sources. The students will participate in Boston University's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (www.bu.edu/UROP), a program that encourages minority participation in research.

PI将开发一个基于网络的交互式立体投影应用程序，称为TempoNet，它将允许最终用户将时间维度纳入其对方位数据的结构和构造分析。 TempoNet的设计将以已经开发的原型为基础，作为概念验证。该原型目前用于教学，但缺乏拟议的研究工具的功能。 TempoNet将使用一种类似Java的编程语言来编写，这种语言被称为JavaScript，它嵌入在Macromedia. com的Flash Web开发应用程序中。非技术性的地球科学家可以很容易地使用TempoNet，既可以作为Windows和Macintosh的独立应用程序，也可以使用在Windows 95 / NT / Xp、Mac OS 9/ OSX或Unix（包括Linux和Solaris）下运行的第5版或更高版本的网络浏览器。潜在的研究应用实例包括：㈠实时监测储存在当地或任何全球网络URL上的新构造和地球物理数据; ㈡交互式、顺序恢复与断层有关的倾斜和褶皱地区的古构造数据;（三）宏观和微观的前向建模TempoNet将使范围极其广泛的地球科学教师和研究人员能够访问网络上提供的信息，它以方便和有意义的格式实时更新。 TempoNet的实际应用将由一组本科生使用内部现有数据以及基于网络的数据源进行测试。学生将参加波士顿大学的本科生研究机会计划（www.bu.edu/UROP），该计划鼓励少数民族参与研究。
