Development of a New Generation of Ocean Bottom Seismic Instruments for Marine Seismic Studies

9976709 collins这项授予马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的重大研究仪器奖，为开发和建造海底地震仪提供资金，用于研究地壳和地幔的结构以及海洋环境中的地震动力学。该奖项为建造50台新仪器和修改30台其他仪器提供资金；与现有仪器一起，它将提供95个地震仪池，适用于整个世界海洋，由WHOI根据与NSF的合作协议（与本合同分开）运营。该合同还为相关的集装箱、用于数据检索和操作的计算机以及支持这些仪器的其他仪器提供资金。地震仪将提供给来自美国学术界的合格研究人员。该项目得到了美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部的支持。伍兹霍尔海洋研究所将提供项目总成本的32.5%的成本分担支持

9976709CollinsThis Major Research Instrumentation award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts provides funds to develop and build ocean bottom seismometer instruments to conduct research in the structure of earth's crust and mantle as well as earthquake dynamics in the marine environment. The award provides funds to build fifty new instruments and modify thirty others; together with existing instruments it will provide a pool of 95 seismometers suitable for use throughout the world ocean which will be operated by WHOI under cooperative agreement (separate from this award) with NSF. The award also provided funds for related shipping containers, computers for data retrieval and operations, and other instrumentation to support the instruments. The seismometers will be available to qualified researchers from throughout the US academic community. The project is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will provide cost-share support for 32.5% of total project costs.***
