This grant supports acquisition of a centralized computational facility to support the broad range of faculty and student research within the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Oregon. The PIs will acquire a multi CPU Macintosh OS X based, compute cluster and file server (Apple Mac X-Serve), networking equipment and disk storage and tape backup system. The computational upgrade will support a wide range of research efforts by faculty and students within the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Oregon. Numerical modeling of volcanic magma chamber dynamics (Cashman), mid-ocean ridge magmatic and hydrothermal processes (Toomey and Hooft), continental lithospheric dynamics and structure (Humphreys and Schmidt), ice physics and mechanical properties (Rempel), and hillslope processes and landslide hazards (Roering) will all benefit from the proposed computational upgrade. The computational upgrade is likely to promote interdisciplinary collaborations between faculty and their students and it will foster enhanced student access to and experience with, modern computing in the geosciences.

这笔赠款支持购买一个中央计算设施，以支持俄勒冈大学地质科学系内广泛的教职员工和学生研究。投资促进机构将购置一个基于Macintosh OS X的多CPU、计算机集群和文件服务器(Apple Mac X-Serve)、网络设备以及磁盘存储和磁带备份系统。计算升级将支持俄勒冈大学地质科学系教职员工和学生的广泛研究努力。火山岩浆室动力学(Cashman)、大洋中脊岩浆和热液过程(Toomey和Hooft)、大陆岩石圈动力学和结构(Humphreys和Schmidt)、冰物理和力学性质(Rempel)以及山坡过程和滑坡灾害(Roering)的数值模拟都将从拟议的计算升级中受益。计算升级可能会促进教师和学生之间的跨学科合作，它将促进学生更好地接触和体验地球科学中的现代计算。
