GPlates 1.5 plate modelling software has been released and is available for download from www.gplates.org. GPlates is freely available for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. CEED is among the contributors for Development of this software.
GPlates is a powerful, open-source plate tectonics reconstruction software program that runs on Mac, Windows and Linux platforms. Developed jointly by researchers at the University of Sydney, California Institute of Technology, CEED and NGU, GPlates allows for the generation and manipulation of plate reconstructions as well as the visualisation of a wide range of geodata through time and space. The recently released version 1.5 comes with enhanced kinematic tools.
