Abstract

Geologists need to restore the past locations of interested features. Reconstruction of geological features to their past locations involves moving a feature around the Earth surface. Current GIS software packages do not have the function to restore the past locations of geological features, but do have the potential to realize it. Paleogeographic Information System (PGIS) is an approach to incorporate the Paleocontinent Reconstruction function into GIS. This approach has been realized in ArcGIS by developing a Paleogeographic Reconstruction functionality using ArcObjects and Visual Basic for Application (VBA) embedded in ArcMap. © Springer-Verlag 2003.
