Acquisition of High-Resolution Shallow Seismic Reflection Instruments

该奖项提供了所需资金的一半， 高分辨率浅层地震反射采集 由地质科学系操作的设备 在宾厄姆顿的纽约州立大学。纽约州立大学宾汉姆顿分校 承诺提供所需的剩余资金。 该设备将作为一种工具，提供近- 研究项目的地表地质结构，包括 地震危险性评估三维场地效应研究， 地震台“接收器”作用的评价 在模拟震源的地震波形时， 确定或地球结构调查， 断层，绘制埋藏河流沉积物的痕迹， 含水层

This award provides one-half the funding required for the acquisition of high-resolution, shallow seismic reflection equipment to be operated by the Department of Geological Sciences at the State University of New York in Binghamton. SUNY-Binghamton is committed to providing the remaining funds needed. The equipment will serve as a tool to provide images of near- surface geologic structures for research projects including the investigation of 3-d site effects for seismic hazard estimation, evaluation of the role of the seismographic station's "receiver function" when modeling seismic waveforms for earthquake source determinations or earth structure investigations, mapping of buried faults, mapping traces of buried river deposits, and mapping of aquifers.
