Geological, geophysical and paleo-geographic data may be attached to the simulated plates, enabling a researcher to trace the motions and interactions of these data through time The Goals of GPlates to handle and visualise data in a variety of geometries and formats, including raster data to link plate kinematics to geodynamic models to serve as an interactive client in a grid-computing network to facilitate the production of high-quality paleo-geographic maps GPlates Development GPlates is developed by an international team of scientists, professional software developers and post graduate students at: the EarthByte Project (part of the AuScope National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) Program) in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney (under the direction of Prof. Platetectonic reconstructions are the calculations of the probable positions, orientations and motions of tectonic plates through time, based upon the relative (plate-to-plate) positions of plates at various times in the past which may be inferred from other data. GPlates runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS X What is a Plate-Tectonic Reconstruction? The motions of tectonic plates through geological time may be described and simulated using plate-tectonic reconstructions. GPlates enables both the visualisation and the manipulation of plate-tectonic reconstructions and associated data through geological time.
GPlates offers a novel combination of interactive plate-tectonic reconstructions, geographic information system (GIS) functionality and raster data visualisation. For example, a step-by-step guide to loading data into GPlates can be found in Loading and Saving an overview of editing the geometries of features can be found in Editing Geometries Introducing GPlates GPlates is desktop software for the interactive visualisation of plate-tectonics.
