-------- Original Message -------- Subject: FYI: GIS and geological time Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 08:04:44 +1100 From: Ross Johnson <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: [log in to unmask] Scientists at the University of Sydney have developed software which allows users to look back over millions of years of the Earth's history. A new piece of free software developed by a Sydney University geophysics team and international collaborators is delivering just that ability. Released late last year, GPlates1.0 <http://www.gplates.org/> allows anyone to easily visualise the earth's tectonic plates, continents and oceans far back in geological time.
