Graduate students in Professor Lindsay Schoenbohm's research lab will use the software to reconstruct the history of deformation of rocks in the high mountains of northwest Argentina. This work has implications for how high-altitude plateaus are built, how they shape and are shaped by climate, and the potential for damaging earthquake to occur.

"We are so grateful to have access to this software," says Schoenbohm. "It will definitely help to provide important analysis for our earth science research and may lead to a new direction in an upcoming course that I am teaching."
