The PALEOMAP Project: Paleogeographic Atlas, Plate Tectonic Software, and Paleoclimate Reconstructions

The PALEOMAP project produces paleogreographic maps illustrating the
Earth's plate tectonic, paleogeographic, climatic, oceanographic and
biogeographic development from the Precambrian to the Modern World
and beyond.

A series of digital data sets has been produced consisting of plate
tectonic data, climatically sensitive lithofacies, and biogeographic
data. Software has been devloped to plot maps using the PALEOMAP
plate tectonic model and digital geographic data sets: PGIS/Mac, Plate
Tracker for Windows 95, Paleocontinental Mapper and Editor (PCME),
Earth System History GIS (ESH-GIS), PaleoGIS(uses ArcView), and
PALEOMAPPER.

Teaching materials for educators including atlases, slide sets, VHS
animations, JPEG images and CD-ROM digital images.

Some PALEOMAP products include:
Plate Tectonic Computer Animation (VHS) illustrating motions of the
continents during the last 850 million years.

Paleogeographic Atlas consisting of 20 full color paleogeographic
maps. (Scotese, 1997).

Paleogeographic Atlas Slide Set (35mm)

Paleogeographic Digital Images (JPEG, PC/Mac diskettes)

Paleogeographic Digital Image Archive (EPS, PC/Mac Zip disk) consists
of the complete digital archive of original digital graphic files used
to produce plate tectonic and paleographic maps for the Paleographic
Atlas.

GIS software such as PaleoGIS and ESH-GIS.
