34th International Geological Congress (IGC): AUSTRALIA 2012

During Congress
WORKSHOP 14
DATE Monday 6th August 2012 (evening)
TITLE GPLATES: FREE SOFTWARE FOR TECTONIC RECONSTRUCTION AND SPATIO-
TEMPORAL DATA ANALYSIS
LOCATION CONGRESS VENUE
ORGANISERS The University of Sydney
PRESENTERS Dietmar Muller ; Simon Williams; Christian Heine; Maria Seton; Joanne Whittaker &
Thomas Landgrebe.
SUMMARY GPlates (www.gplates.org) is an open-source and platform-independent software
enabling the interactive manipulation and visualization of plate-tectonic
reconstructions. The course is designed as an introduction to core GPlates
functionality, based on tutorials freely available on the internet. Users will learn how
to build and alter plate models, import GIS data and digitise features, the loading,
“cookie-cutting” and age-coding of raster files, as well as the exporting of data for
animations or for publication-quality figure generation. Advanced topics such as
linking of plate reconstructions to geodynamic models, plate deformation and spatiotemporal
data mining will be touched upon.
