GPlates is a plate-tectonics program. Manipulate reconstructions of geological and paleo-geographic features through geological time. Interactively visualize vector, raster and volume data. PyGPlates is the GPlates Python library. Get fine-grained access to GPlates functionality in your Python scripts.

Features

  • Load/save geological, geographic and tectonic feature data
  • Assign reconstruction/rotation poles to feature data by cookie-cutting with plate polygons
  • Reconstruct/rotate feature data (vector and raster data)
  • Visualize vector/raster data on a globe or in one of the map projections
  • Visualize sub-surface 3D scalar fields
  • Export reconstructed data as a time-sequence of exported files
  • Query and edit feature properties and geometries
  • Modify reconstructions graphically
  • Calculate surface velocities in topological plate polygons and deforming meshes
  • Track crustal extension/contraction inside deforming regions
  • Use PyGPlates to access GPlates functionality in your Python scripts.
