PaleoGIS plate tectonics software application is built on the industry-leading Esri ArcGIS platform and is provided as a fully integrated extension.
Previously, exploration scientists had to painstakingly create plate reconstruction maps by hand or rely on published research. Even with GIS tools, incorporating the vast amounts of available data is still a mammoth and time consuming task. Furthermore, these static maps offer no capabilities to dynamically test and validate assumptions, integrate proprietary data or precisely manipulate the historical time perspective, all of which are vital activities for determining formation or enrichment potential.
Today, geologists and geophysicists from the leading oil and gas and mineral exploration firms leverage the power of PaleoGIS to completely automate this plate tectonics analysis, as well as to augment their risk mitigation processes.
See the solution sheet:
The powerful desktop software is a rigorous, integrated, digital-reconstruction application, designed to make it easy for a modeler to dynamically define plates, incorporate any geological, geophysical and climatic data and make tectonic, gross depositional and palinspastic reconstruction maps. Further, scientists can take the extra analytical step of fully editing, or even creating, a plate data model.
