This proposal requests funds to buy advanced desktop computers (workstations) in order for my group to continue our research.  This research aims to understand how animals (worms, clams, crabs, etc.) move in sediments and how methane  (gas) bubbles form in marine and wetland sediments and rise.  We are also concerned how the oceans will act as the ultimate sink for the CO2 now being put into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.  Our investigations have important connections to climate change, seafloor stability, and acoustic (sonar) imaging of the ocean bottom, and our current workstations are just too old (low speed and memory) to do this work anymore.

这项提案要求资金购买先进的台式计算机(工作站)，以便我的团队继续我们的研究。这项研究旨在了解动物(蠕虫、蛤、蟹等)是如何我们还关心海洋和湿地沉积物中甲烷气体(气体)气泡是如何形成和上升的。我们还担心海洋将如何充当现在通过燃烧化石燃料进入大气的二氧化碳的最终汇。我们的研究与气候变化、海底稳定性和海底声学(声纳)成像有重要联系，而我们目前的工作站太老了(速度和内存都很低)，不能再做这项工作了。
