0651056Van KekenThis grant provides support towards the acquisition of a 160 CPU PC cluster to facilitate seismological and geodynamical research conducted within the groups of Jeroen Ritsema and Peter van Keken at the University of Michigan. The new facility will be used to (1) synthesize 3D seismic wave propagation for use in the analysis of global seismic structure; (ii) develop 3D models of the dynamics and thermal structure of subduction zones; (iii) study 3D models of plume formation; (iv) provide high resolution dynamical models of the geochemical evolution of the Earth's mantle; (v) use geodynamical predictive models in seismological inversions. This cluster will be instrumental in the PhD work of at least 5 graduate students and will lead to the development and improvement of parallel software.

0651056 Van Keken这笔赠款为购买160 CPU的PC集群提供支持，以促进在密歇根大学Jeroen RitSema和Peter van Keken小组内进行的地震学和地球动力学研究。这一新设施将用于：(1)合成用于分析全球地震结构的三维地震波传播；(2)建立俯冲带动力学和热结构的三维模型；(3)研究羽流形成的3维模型；(4)提供高分辨率的地幔地球化学演化动力学模型；(5)将地球动力学预测模型用于地震反演。该集群将有助于至少5名研究生的博士工作，并将导致并行软件的开发和改进。
