Institution: University of Southern CaliforniaProposal Number: 0354068PI: Thomas H. JordanTitle: REU Site: SCEC Undergraduate Summer in Earthquake Information Technology \(SCEC/UseIT\)This project establishes a new REU site at the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), University of Southern California. The undergraduate research interns will use advanced IT tools to solve interdisciplinary earthquake research problems; bring together the usually separate fields of undergraduate study in computer science and engineering with the geosciences; and introduce non-geoscience majors to the practical problems of reducing earthquake risk. The SCEC already has in place an undergraduate research program under an Information Technology Research (ITR) award, and this project will be a natural outgrowth of that effort. The student research will be organized around the LA3D platform, an open-source, object-oriented visualization system written in Java, that can display earthquakes, faults, and volumetric geological structures in 3D. The NSF support will fund 12 interns/year for 3 years. The students will make field trips to fault systems in Southern California as well as to other advanced research facilities. They will receive training in making research presentations and in writing research publications.

机构：南加州大学提案编号：0354068PI：Thomas H. Jordan 标题：REU 地点：SCEC 地震信息技术本科生暑期课程\(SCEC/UseIT\)该项目在大学南加州地震中心 (SCEC) 建立了一个新的 REU 地点南加州。 本科生研究实习生将利用先进的IT工具解决跨学科的地震研究问题；将计算机科学与工程与地球科学中通常独立的本科学习领域结合在一起；并向非地球科学专业介绍减少地震风险的实际问题。 SCEC 已经在信息技术研究 (ITR) 奖项下实施了本科生研究项目，该项目将是这一努力的自然成果。 学生研究将围绕 LA3D 平台进行，这是一个用 Java 编写的开源、面向对象的可视化系统，可以以 3D 形式显示地震、断层和体积地质结构。 NSF 的支持将每年资助 12 名实习生，为期 3 年。 学生们将实地考察南加州的断层系统以及其他先进的研究设施。 他们将接受研究报告和撰写研究出版物的培训。
