This is an assortment of links to plate tectonics, geophysics, and seismology resources on the world-wide web. The purpose is not to provide a comprehensive list, but rather to showcase some of the better resources available. If you know of additional information that should be listed here, please send e-mail to geotech@email.smith.edu.
This Dynamic Earth: The Story of Plate Tectonics
An online version of the USGS publication This Dynamic Earth: The Story
of Plate Tectonics by W. Jacquelyne Kious and Robert I. Tilling.
A PDF version
is also available.
Geophysics
This is a useful starting place for resources on geophysicsmaintained by
Nobuhiro Furuse in Japan.
Paleomap Project
Christopher Scotese's website whose goal is to illustrate the plate
tectonic development of the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing
distribution of land and sea during the past 1100 million years.
Paleomap
The Ocean Drilling Stratigraphic Network at the University of Bremen in Germany
has an online program which allows you to generate maps of plate configurations
of any age up to 150 Ma.
Plate Motion Calculator
A set of online programs to calculate relative and absolute plate motions
written by Kensaku Tamaki at the Ocean Research Institute at the University
of Tokyo in Japan.
Plate
Reconstructions
A set of Phanerozoic plate reconstructions from Ron Blakey at Northern Arizona
University.
Seismology
This is a useful starting place to find resources devoted to seismology and
earthquakes maintained by Steve Malone at the University of Washington in
Seattle.
