Acquisition of a Computational Facility, Geological Sciences, University of Oregon

这笔赠款支持收购一个集中的计算设施，以支持在地质科学系在俄勒冈州大学的教师和学生的研究范围广泛。 PI将获得一个基于Macintosh OS X的多CPU计算集群和文件服务器（Apple Mac X-Serve），网络设备以及磁盘存储和磁带备份系统。 计算升级将支持俄勒冈州大学地质科学系教师和学生的广泛研究工作。 火山岩浆房动力学（Cashman）、洋中脊岩浆和热液过程（Toomey和Hooft）、大陆岩石圈动力学和结构（Humphreys和施密特）、冰的物理和力学特性（Rempel）以及山坡过程和滑坡灾害（Roering）的数值模拟都将受益于拟议的计算升级。 计算升级可能会促进教师和学生之间的跨学科合作，它将促进学生获得和体验，现代计算在地球科学。

This grant supports acquisition of a centralized computational facility to support the broad range of faculty and student research within the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Oregon. The PIs will acquire a multi CPU Macintosh OS X based, compute cluster and file server (Apple Mac X-Serve), networking equipment and disk storage and tape backup system. The computational upgrade will support a wide range of research efforts by faculty and students within the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Oregon. Numerical modeling of volcanic magma chamber dynamics (Cashman), mid-ocean ridge magmatic and hydrothermal processes (Toomey and Hooft), continental lithospheric dynamics and structure (Humphreys and Schmidt), ice physics and mechanical properties (Rempel), and hillslope processes and landslide hazards (Roering) will all benefit from the proposed computational upgrade. The computational upgrade is likely to promote interdisciplinary collaborations between faculty and their students and it will foster enhanced student access to and experience with, modern computing in the geosciences.
