The EPC software calculates velocities for any points located on the earth’s surface given the Euler pole parameters and estimates the Euler pole parameters given the observed velocities of a set of sites located on a tectonic plate. Since version 2, the software is able to estimate or apply the Plate Translation Rates, as well. Please cite one of the following papers when you use the software: - Goudarzi, M A, Cocard, M, and Santerre, R. 2014."EPC: Matlab Software to Estimate Euler Pole Parameters".

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.

PlaTec is a 2D terrain generator that uses a simplified model of plate tectonics to produce realistic heightmaps in real time. The simulator starts with a flat fractal map and splits it randomly into plates. Plates are moved around the map. If continents of two plates collide, they fold creating mountain belts. If oceanic crust of one plate collides with another plate, subduction occurs resulting in coastal mountain ranges or island chains.

PyTectonics is no longer maintained. There is a replacement, which you can see here: davidson16807.github.io/tectonics.js.

Finite rotations describe the motions of tectonic plates through geological time ("plate-tectonic reconstructions"). ReconTreeViewer implements a novel visualisation technique to enable visualisation of the temporal structure of a plate-motion model.
