Computer Workstations for Studies of Mantle and Core Flow

需要资金购买两台计算机工作站，以开展地幔流动和对流研究以及地核磁流体力学模型的研究。地球物理研究的这一领域完全依赖于现代计算和成像工具的可用性。这些工作站将安装在哈佛大学地球和行星科学系，那里的研究重点是与板块运动有关的地幔三维流动、地磁和核心动力学、岩石圈板块的变形以及地幔的粘性。

Funds are requested to purchase two computer workstations needed to pursue research on mantle flow and convection and the modeling of magnetohydrodynamics in the Earth's core. This area of geophysical research is totally dependent on the availability of modern computing and imaging tools. The workstations are to be installed in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University where there is research emphasis on problems such as the three-dimensional flow in the mantle associated with plate motions, geomagnetism and core dynamics, deformation of lithospheric plates, and the viscosity of the mantle.
