9528954 Meltzer This grant provides partial support for the costs of acquiring hardware and software to upgrade the Lehigh seismology laboratory. Specifically, a new IBM 3CT RS/6000 workstation with mass storage system, Power MAC 9500, color plotter, OMEGA 3-D imaging software for analysis of seismic data, and other peripherals will be purchased for use in the PI's research using high resolution seismic reflection and refraction data for interpreting upper crustal structure. Powerful new workstations with an abundance of memory and data storage capabilities are required to begin to analyze seismic data three dimensionally. 3-D seismic data processing will be immediately useful to the PI's current research which includes analyses of the crustal structure around the Mendocino Triple Junction where a transition occurs from subduction to transform tectonics and studies of crustal faulting during active orogenesis in the northwest Himalayas. It will also provide new insight into the structure of the uppermost crust for studies of environmental and societal significance such as fluid migration along shallow faults and high resolution stratigraphy. ***

9528954 Meltzer 这笔赠款为购买硬件和软件以升级 Lehigh 地震实验室的费用提供部分支持。 具体来说，将购买一台新的 IBM 3CT RS/6000 工作站，配备大容量存储系统、Power MAC 9500、彩色绘图仪、用于分析地震数据的 OMEGA 3-D 成像软件以及其他外围设备，用于 PI 使用高分辨率地震的研究用于解释上地壳结构的反射和折射数据。 需要具有丰富内存和数据存储功能的强大新型工作站来开始三维地震数据分析。 三维地震数据处理将立即对 PI 目前的研究有用，其中包括对门多西诺三重交界处周围地壳结构的分析（这里发生从俯冲构造到转换构造的转变）以及喜马拉雅山西北部活跃造山作用期间地壳断层的研究。 它还将为研究环境和社会意义（例如沿浅断层的流体运移和高分辨率地层学）提供对最上地壳结构的新见解。 ***
