GPlates is desktop software for the interactive visualisation of plate tectonics (www.gplates.org). It is jointly developed at the University of Sydney, California Institute of Technology, and the Norwegian Geological Survey.

The plate history model below was developed predominantly by the EarthByte Group at the University of Sydney (see Seton et al. (2012)).
