Since its creation in 1964, the NSU Halmos College of Arts and Sciences has been on the forefront of marine research. As part of this research, NSU's Halmos College has created numerous software programs to evaluate habitats both offshore and on land. The college’s inclusive learning community is committed to supporting experiential learning opportunities as well as cross-disciplinary learning and research. As such, we offer these software packages to the global community.
While these software tools and packages are released as copyrighted freeware, we encourage you to make a donation that will be used for the further development and support. Please visit nova.edu/give and select “NSU Halmos College of Arts and Sciences.” Thank you.
