Donation of subsurface modeling licenses by PE Limited to the Earth and Environmental Science Department

The Earth and Environmental Science department is pleased to announce the generous donation of IPM/MOVE licenses by PE Limited (Petex), a renowned developer of engineering and structural geology software platforms. Petex has provided licenses to the department for academic and research use and to benefit the professional development of graduate students, a donation equivalent to $6,564,992.43. With this donation, the EES department and affiliates at the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources will be able to create state-of-the-art cross sections and subsurface models for academic and research use, allowing for more accurate depictions of the subsurface that will be distributed via scientific manuscripts and maps to a variety of end-users, including government entities and members of the public. We thank Petex for this generous donation and their assistance over the past year as we prepared our servers for installation of this software system. We also thank Dr. Tahiry Rajaonarison for his hard work collaborating with EES, Petex, and the Information Technology and Communications department to ensure compatibility of the IPM/MOVE system with the required servers.
