"These Landmark awards to universities around the world reflect our continued interest in providing today's students with easy access to industry-leading technology," said John Gibson, president and CEO of Landmark. "It is my hope that the hands-on experience students obtain while using Landmark's software solutions contributes to their educational development and better prepares them for careers in our fast-paced petroleum industry."
Universities offering geology, geophysics, petroleum engineering, computer science, physics and mathematics degrees are eligible to apply for Landmark university grants. The Landmark Global University Grant Program's governing board meets quarterly to review all applications.
"The Department of Geological Sciences is most appreciative of this generous grant of advanced seismic processing software from Landmark," said Jeff Daniels of Louisiana State University. "From a teaching perspective, ProMAX(TM) gives our students a hands-on tool that allows them to interactively learn the basics of processing with the same state-of-the-art techniques that are used in the industry."
"Ralph Hinsch of the Institute of Geology added, "The University of Vienna gratefully acknowledges receipt of the grant from Landmark's Global University Grant Program. The awarded software enhances the possibilities for teaching modern techniques at the University of Vienna, giving our students valuable education for their future career in managing the earth. Professors and researchers at the Geo-Center are now able to use this industry-standard technology for their projects and have it available for future research proposals."
