Upgrading the Geophysics/Tectonics Computational Facilities at Yale

9528484里贝 这笔赠款提供117，378美元，作为计算机升级和购买新的高端IBM RISC 6000工作站的一半费用，用于该小组在地球动力学，活动构造建模，地壳地震成像以及理论地震学和古气候学方面的计算密集型研究。 更具体地说，这些升级将使该小组能够为地幔柱-岩石圈相互作用的可视化、地幔对流单元界面的混合和地壳中的地震传播开发更现实和复杂的三维模型，并为活动构造研究开发地理信息系统数据库和区域规模模型。 ***

9528484 Ribe This grant provides $117,378 as one-half support of the costs of computer upgrades and purchase of a new high-end IBM RISC 6000 workstation for use in this group's computationally intensive research in geodynamics, modeling of active tectonics, seismic imaging of the crust, and theoretical seismology and paleoclimatology. More specifically, the upgrades will allow this group to develop more realistic and complex 3-D models for, visualization of mantle plume-lithosphere interactions, mixing at the interfaces of mantle convection cells and seismic propagation through the earth's crust as well as to develop geographic information system databases and regional-scale models for studies in active tectonics. ***
