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.
