Mathematics in Near Sub-Surface Science

这笔赠款的主要目标是在数学系的PI和博伊西州立大学的地球物理研究小组之间建立强有力的研究合作。这一合作将作为一个新的内部计划的原型，该计划旨在建立应用数学家与科学和工程学院之间的教学和研究合作。PI将通过参加课程、研究小组会议和协助现场实验来开始合作。PI的主要合作者将是帕萨·劳斯教授，他们将致力于从电学测量估计复电阻率三维分布的正反向两方面的工作。博伊西州立大学及其数学系正在发展和建设研究生课程，以满足地区需求。这一跨学科研究计划的发展是增加本科生和研究生研究机会的有效战略。该IGMS项目由MPS多学科活动办公室(OMA)和数学科学部(DMS)联合支持。

The primary objective of this grant is to build a strong research collaboration between the PI in the mathematics department, and the geophysics research group at Boise State University. Thiscollaboration will serve as the prototype for a new internal program to build teaching andresearch collaborations between applied mathematicians and science and engineering faculty. The PI will begin the collaboration by attending courses, research group meetings, and assisting in in field experiments. The PI's primary collaborator will be Professor Partha Routh, and they will work on both forward and inverse aspects of estimating three-dimensional distributions of complex resistivity from electrical measurements. Boise State University, and its mathematics department, are growing and building graduate programs in response to regional needs. The development of this cross-disciplinary research programis an effective strategy for increasing both undergraduate and graduate research opportunities.This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
