Upgrade of Geophysics Computing Facilities at Missouri University of Science and Technology

1321656高此拨款支持购买新的计算设备，以支持密苏里州科技大学在地震学、地球动力学和岩石力学方面的研究和研究培训。 三个PI和他们的34名研究生将受益于计划购买的4个节点，每个节点16个CPU的Linux-OS集群，每个集群具有256 GB RAM和36 TB RAID海量存储系统。 计算集群将支持地震观测的计算密集型分析，以通过剪切波分裂的观测来约束岩石圈和上地幔的地球动力学，特别是在拉伸环境中，储层岩石内裂缝发育的有限元正演建模，以及液化CO2地下注入的岩石力学影响的建模研究，仅举几例。 接受培训的学生将为未来在学术界和采掘业的职业生涯做好准备。

1321656GaoThis grant supports acquisition of new computational equipment to support research and research training in seismology, geodynamics and rock mechanics at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Three PIs and their 34 graduate students will benefit from the planned acquisition of a 4 node, 16 CPU per node Linux-OS cluster each with 256 GB RAM and a 36 TB RAID mass store system. The compute cluster will support computational intensive analysis of seismic observations to constrain the geodynamics of the lithosphere and upper mantle through observations of shear wave splitting, particularly in extensional settings, finite element forward modeling of fracture development within reservoir rocks, and modeling investigations of rock mechanical implications of liquefied CO2 subsurface injections, to name a few. Students trained will be well positioned for future careers in academia as well as the extractive industries.***
