该奖项提供了所需资金的62%， 购置设备，以更新联合国 纽约大学地球与行星科学系 墨西哥新墨西哥州大学致力于提供 剩余的资金是必要的。 升级后的计算系统将分布在 教师和学生站，旨在提供访问 大量的研究型学生和教师。除了 教育用途该系统将用于积极的研究项目 在构造地质学、沉积学、水文地质学、地球化学 矿物学和陨石学，以及专门的应用， 该部分析设施的运作（电子 微探针，分析高分辨率电子显微镜，和X- 射线衍射仪）。

This award provides 62% of the funds required for the acquisition of equipment to upgrade the computing facilities in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico. The University of New Mexico is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary. The upgraded computing system will be distributed among faculty and student stations and is designed to provide access to a large number of research students and faculty. In addition to educational use the system will be used in active research projects in structural geology, sedimentology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and meteoritics, as well as dedicated applications in the operation of the Department's analytical facilities (electron microprobe, analytical-high-resolution electron microscope, and X- ray diffractometer).
