Upgrade of Computing Facilities for Global Seismology at the University of Arizona

这笔赠款支持升级亚利桑那大学地球科学系的地震学计算设施。资金将用于：1)升级网络基础设施；2)购买硬盘海量存储、磁带备份和文件服务器；3)购买12台iMac工作站和相关软件。计算升级将促进美国国家科学基金会资助的一系列地震学研究，包括山区岩石圈结构和造山过程、地壳和地幔各向异性、地震源研究以及主要走滑断裂带的岩石圈结构。计算设备将支持1名博士后研究员、8名博士生(1名女性和3名国际学生)和1名本科生。升级后的设施将加强PI在协作、跨学科和国际项目中的参与，包括地球范围和大陆动力学项目。

0651540BeckThis grant supports upgrade of the seismology computing facilities in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona. Funds will be used to: 1) upgrade networking infrastructure; 2) acquire a hard disk mass store, tape backup and file server; and 3) acquire 12 iMac workstations and related software. The computational upgrade will facilitate a range of NSF funded seismological research on lithospheric structure and orogenic processes in mountain belts, crustal and mantle anisotropy, earthquake source studies, and lithospheric structure of major strike slip fault zones. The computational equipment will support one postdoctoral researcher, eight Ph.D. students (1 female and 3 international students) and 1 undergraduate student. The upgraded facility willl enhance PI participation in collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international projects, including EarthScope and Continental Dynamics projects.
