The PALEOMAP Project: Paleogeographic Atlas, Plate Tectonic Software, and Paleoclimate Reconstructions
 Entry ID: PALEOMAP-Serf

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: 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 ... View entire text
