This award provides approximately one-half the funds needed                to acquire an optical mass storage module to be installed in the                Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University.               The storage system has a capacity of 165 gigabytes and will be                  controlled by a computer which can be accessed by the Harvard                   university-wide Ethernet system and the national NSFnet system.                      Digital seismograms recorded by the global seismic network                 since 1972 already constitute approximately 100 gigabytes of                    scientific data with many potential applications such as studies                of seismic sources and deep-earth tomographic imaging. The data                 set is very large and growing, and it currently resides on 5000                 magnetic tapes. Direct, on line, access to this data transferred                to the optical storage system is the only practical means of                    scientifically processing this resource.
