Acquisition of Computer Workstation Cluster to Support Re- search and Graduate Training in Geological Fluid Dynamics at the University of Minnesota

9405807人 该奖项提供了43%的资金，用于购买明尼苏达大学地质和地球物理系安装和用于研究和教学的计算机工作站集群。该大学致力于提供收购所需的剩余资金。 地质和地球物理系的大部分研究和研究生培训都集中在地壳内流体循环和流体-岩石相互作用的定量研究以及地幔动力学的理论研究上。购置一组联网的计算机工作站将使研究和培训的课题多样化，如地幔对流、地幔流变学和熔体迁移、河流动力学、沉积作用、地下盐水迁移、沉积盆地流体动力学和古湖沼学。 ***

9405807 Person This award provides 43% of the funds required to acquire a cluster of computer workstations to be installed and used for research and teaching in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Minnesota. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the acquisition. Much of the research and graduate training within the Department of Geology and Geophysics is focused on quantitative studies of fluid circulation and fluid-rock interactions within the Earth's crust as well as theoretical investigations in mantle dynamics. The acquisition of a cluster of networked computer workstations will permit research and training on topics as diverse as mantle convection, mantle rheology and melt migration, river dynamics, sedimentation, subsurface brine migration, sedimentary basin hydrodynamics, and paleolimnology. ***
