PaleoPro™ and PaleoGIS™
Plate Tectonic Reconstructions at Your Fingertips
PaleoPro™ and PaleoGIS™ are powerful desktop software packages that provide geologists and geophysicists with tools for creating and analyzing plate tectonic reconstructions. They allow you to incorporate your own proprietary vector and raster data into reconstructions so the data can be evaluated in its paleogeographic context, providing insight into gross depositional environments and enabling many other types of tectonic analyses. In addition, PaleoPro™ and PaleoGIS™ provide plate model deformation capabilities, allowing for the creation of palinspastic reconstructions that can provide in-depth understanding of sedimentary basin formation.
PaleoPro™ and PaleoGIS™ include tools for plate model editing, allowing you to edit existing models or create new ones to suit your exploration needs.
PaleoPro™ and PaleoGIS™ operate as fully-integrated additions to ESRI GIS software packages: PaleoPro™ is an ArcGIS Pro add-in and PaleoGIS™ is an ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) extension.
PaleoPro™ and PaleoGIS™ use 3rd party plate models to create reconstructions. Several commercial and academic plate models are available for purchase from their respective vendors. In addition, four demonstration (“demo”) plate models are included with PaleoPro, so you have the ability to use PaleoPro™ without purchasing additional models.
